2 Background information

2.1 Location (geography) The City of Uzice lies in the southwestern part of Serbia from 430 59'’ to 430 42'’ N; 190 24'’ to 190 59'’ E (coordinates). It borders the Bosnia and Herzegovina on the western side, on the northwest with municipalities Bajina Basta, Kosjeric, Pozega, Arilje, Cajetina. It is located in the central part of the Zlatibor District.

Uzice city lies in the mountain-valley area (Starovlasko-Raska highland part of the Western Morava area). Judging by the characters of basin, it is mostly middle mountain belt (about 800 above sea level on average), whose height increases going from east to west. The region is cut with river valleys which are also the basic directions of communications. It also lies on the western end of the Western Morava corridor that intersects the central part of the territory of Serbia with a transversal from Užice to Krusevac. Same transversal continues in the west in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. On its part from Cacak to Uzice, transversal accepts a part of the regional road traffic from Belgrade to Montenegro, while the main railroad Belgrade - Bar passes right next to Valjevo and than via Uzice to Montenegro. This intersection of regional and transversal transport network gives Uzice a central function for a wider hinterland. However, of even greater importance is the position of the city or area of the municipality on the contact of the surrounding mountainous hinterland and the beginning of the western Morava plans as a significant development belt of Serbia. Thus, Uzice will remain the gate at the entrance of the development belt, being strategic and commercial gateway for centuries between the different and complementary natural and economic-geographic areas. Territory of the city and municipality covers an area of 666.15 km2, from Tara Mountain in the west (Mokrogorsko-Rzavska Syncline) through Ponikvansko-Staparska and Mackatska surface (Zlatibor) to the limestone terrain in SE (Dreznik and flat) and anticline Jelova Gora.

2.5 History, tradition and cultural heritage

Uzice is first mentioned in a document from the archives of Dubrovnik from 9th of October 1329. During the middle-age Serbian state, Uzice was an important commercial and transportation center through which the caravans passed from Constantinople to Dubrovnik, Sarajevo and on to Europe. During the fourteenth century, Uzice was the seat of the medieval nobleman Nikola Altomanovic. In the sixteenth century Uzice was already the center of district and kaza1, with a permanent colony in Dubrovnik, and during the seventeenth century became important trade and cultural center. At the time of Austro- Turkish wars it becomes a large military base, and at the time of the First Serbian Uprising an important military strategic place. Serbian rebels liberated Uzice in 1805. The city once again fell under Turkish rule in 1813 until the 1862, when after the great fire and banishment of the Turks it was finally released. During World War II, Uzice was the center of important historical events, with Uzicka republic being the most important; during the two months of its existence in 1941 it was the only free territory in then- occupied Europe. Cultural and historical evidence in Uzice date from the early period of human history, and archaeological sites from Illyrian and Roman period reveal settlements of developed culture of the time. On the site of present-day Uzice, Municipium Capedunum was located back in Roman times, which had an important role in the Roman province of Dalmatia. Rujan Monastery, located near Uzice, is significant in that it once housed the first printing house in Serbia, which began operating in 1529, where famous Rujansko cetvorojevandjelje (‘four gospels of Rujan’) was printed. Cultural and historic monuments with great potentials are: the old town of Uzice, Jokanovic house, Church of St. Mark, St. George Church, Church of the Annunciation in Karan and memorial complex Kadinjaca.

3 Natural resources

City of Uzice is divided into several characteristic zones according to natural limitations and possibilities. Djetinja and Luznica rivers alluvial plains with their confluents comprise two zones of approximately 3 km2 of area favourable for development of all economic activities and settlements, and for the most part have been used for agriculture, roads, industry and housing. The second transition zone is between 500 and 700 meters AMSL. This zone is suitable for some types of agriculture (fruit growing) and housing (family housing with density of 50 inh/ ha). The third zone consists of a plateaus at an altitude 600-850AMSL, i.e. northern Zlatiborska plateau and Kremanska valley. These are plain-like grounds for the development of settlements, industry and agriculture. Surface of this zone is about 27 km2. The fourth zone consists of the sides of Sargan and Tara mountains in a larger slope, altitude over 700 meters. This zone is suitable for the development of forest exploitation, mining and tourism development. Fifth zone consists of Tara plateau at an altitude near 1000 m. These grounds are suitable for livestock farming, the production of fodder and for mountain tourism. They are constrained by the boundaries of the National Park Tara i.e. protected areas of national park. On the plateaus of Zlatibor and Tara in the third and fifth area forests are a valuable prerequisite for the development of tourism. Present forest landscape sites, cultural and historical heritage and the traffic situation on roads that link coastal tourist area with the main attracting hinterland offer the territory of the city of Uzice lively tourist transit function.

4.10.2 Working population by profession and sector of work Comparison of indicators of development of city’s population and indicators on the growing number of employees shows a great similarity. The growth of urban population coincides with a period of intense increase in the number of employees in city’s work centers, thus confirming the hypothesis about the causal relation of urbanization and population employment in non-agricultural activities.

Migration of population In addition to these population movements, a very important factor of economic development is the mechanical or migrant movement that affects the number and structure of the population. These movements in the recent past were the main sources from which the municipality of Uzice was inhabited, because Uzice municipality in the whole post-war period was a very distinctive area of immigration.

4.13.1 Moved in Based on the census by census periods, one can notice a tendency of migrant versus autochthon population. So the census from 1971 for the municipality of Uzice in general shows that the share of the total indigenous population was 54% and migrant 46%; it was followed by decline in the number of migrants and growth in percentage of indigenous population.

5.2 Industry Industry, tourism, construction and agriculture (fruit growing and livestock farming), traffic and links have greatest importance for economic development. This statement has its support in the fact that during the industrial revolution in the former Yugoslavia, after World War II, in the municipality of Uzice a large number of industrial, construction, trade and restaurant capacities were built, which worked in difficult conditions since 1991, survived, and in recent years of transition most of these enterprises were privatized, and the same, with the stabilization of the socio-economic conditions in the state, will again lead the city Uzice to a high level of development, far above the average Serbian. The great potential of the city of Uzice lies in: • The existing industrial capacities of medium and large companies: Copper and Brass Mills "East point", Aluminium mill "Impol-Seval", "Prvi partizan", "Autoventil", "Tvrdi metal", ‘’Jedinstvo’’ "Kadinjaca", "Kozara", "Sreten Guduric" and in a number of newly opened small businesses in the industry. • Favourable geographic - traffic position and the possibility of traffic connections (road and rail) to other parts of the Republic, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. • Terrain near Uzice, favourable for the construction of small industrial plants and entrepreneurial zones. • Built large infrastructure (water management and electric power, telecommunications) and built pipeline and • Level of education and qualification structure of the population.

5.3 Agriculture

Of the total agricultural area of the city of Uzice, 37% is under pastures, 26% under meadows and 10% under orchards. Hilly areas, which extend in vertical belt up to 500 meters, have excellent agro ecological suitability for producing quality fruit, meat and milk. They are also suitable for the production 36

of quality fruit, and for the development of livestock farming and sheep husbandry. Annual yield per tree is decreasing in fruit growing, but livestock farming and potato farming are on the rise. Main plant cultures are: plums (23%), pears (18%), apples (17%), potatoes (13%) and raspberry 10%. City of Uzice surpasses other municipalities of Zlatibor District in poultry breeding, and in regards to the percentage of animal husbandry (sheep and pigs) is in second place. In recent years there a noticeable increase in trout farming. Potential in the field of agriculture should be sought in the development of orchards and livestock farming. There is a great experience and tradition in cultivating fruit (plums and apples), and various livestock, as well as in the production of well-known Uzice specialties: cayenne brandy, klekovaca (juniper brandy), kaymak and cheese, pork ham and bacon, beef ham and sausage and similar meat products. Besides the fact that the number of active agricultural population is reduced, population in this situation must be viewed as the main potential in the development of agriculture. In the city of Uzice, the number of registered farms is constantly increasing, in January 2007. amounted to 2,345.
