Questions

About earthquakes near Belgrade

Outside the United States this page combines the USGS global catalog with EMSC, which includes smaller events reported by national seismic networks. The default view covers M2.5+ events within 300 km. Magnitude measures the energy at the source; how strongly it is felt also depends on depth, distance and local ground.

Check my exact locationAll of Serbia
Was there an earthquake near Belgrade today?

Yes. USGS lists 1 M2.5+ earthquake within 300 km of Belgrade in the past 24 hours; the strongest was M2.8 (Bosnia And Herzegovina).

How often are there earthquakes near Belgrade?

USGS recorded 68 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or more within 300 km of Belgrade between 2016 and 2025, about 7 a year. That puts it above 28% of the cities QuakeScout tracks.

Is Belgrade near a tectonic plate boundary?

The nearest mapped plate boundary, between the Aegean Sea and Eurasian plates, is about 607 km from the city centre. Earthquakes also happen on faults inside plates, so distance alone does not measure risk.

Why might a small earthquake felt in Belgrade be missing?

The USGS global catalog focuses on moderate and larger earthquakes outside the United States. National agencies usually publish smaller local events first; the link on this page points to the relevant one.

Can QuakeScout warn me before an earthquake?

No. Earthquakes cannot be predicted, and QuakeScout is an information service, not an alert system. Follow official warnings and local authorities.
