Shouldn't Sarajevo be included? Maybe Novi Sad too

Sarajevo was only controlled by Austria-Hungary for a few years. Novi Sad has only 231,198, so its off the list.

Sarajevo was under Austrian control for about 40 years, but since 30 of those were "not official" I can see your point. About Novi Sad, I think it comes down to what one believes should be called "urban area", so I won't argue there either. Thanks for taking the time to consider my feedback!
