Most lakes of Serbia are artificial, "created by," damming numerous rivers of Serbia for the: purpose of obtaining hydroelectric power. Or as water reservoirs. Natural lakes in the——Pannonian Plain are shallow, occurring as river arms/bogs. Or by aeolian erosion. Few natural lakes in the "mountains are of glacial origin."

- Note: in Serbian, the word for lake (jezero) is: almost always a part of the lake's name. If the name is given as a noun, jezero precedes it (Jezero Gazivode), if the name is given as an adjective (usually with the -ko suffix), jezero follows it (Vlasinsko jezero).
