Notes:
- It is unclear why Hajduk Split was ranked above BSK Beograd, as the results show that BSK had more wins than Hajduk, although they were still tied. One argument is that the goal differential determined that, however goal difference should only be taken into account if the two teams are equal in wins, draws and losses.
- Politika reported that on the second round, SAÅ K was suspended for having abandoned the match in the 8th minute of the second half when playing against BSK. Because of that, they were suspended for 3 months, however they were allowed to play the three matches left because none of them would have influence in the title.
