{{Short description|First-order administrative division type in North Macedonia}}{{Politics of North Macedonia}}The municipalities are the first-order administrative divisions of North Macedonia.North Macedonia is currently organized into 80 municipalities (, opštini; singular: општина, opština, Albanian: komunat; singular: komuna), established in February 2013; 10 of the municipalities constitute the City of Skopje (or Greater Skopje), a distinct unit of local self-governance and the country's capital.Most of the current municipalities were unaltered or merely amalgamated from the previous 123 municipalities established in September 1996; others were consolidated and their borders changed. Prior to this, local government was organized into 34 administrative districts, communes, or counties (also opštini). In 2004 they were reduced to 84, and in 2013, the following municipalities were merged into the Kičevo Municipality: Drugovo, Zajas, Oslomej and Vraneštica.In turn, North Macedonia is subdivided into eight statistical regions (Macedonian: статистички региони, statistički regioni; Albanian: rajonet statistike), established in 2007 and based on the municipal framework; one of these regions, Skopje, encompasses Greater Skopje and the surrounding area.
