Tourism Potential of Serbian Protected Areas Dear Reader ATLAS OF TOURISM POTENTIAL OF SERBIAN PROTECTED AREAS Dear reader, Serbia’s protected areas, the jewels of the country, contain nu- merous wonders of nature. A variety of rare, endangered animal and plant species can be observed in their natural habitat. Desi- gnating protected areas allows the provision of safe harbours for these species and ecosystems, which in many cases are unique. And promoting nature-respecting tourism and recreation in the- se areas not only allows visitors to explore these wonders, but also contributes to the livelihood of the people and communities who have lived in and shaped those landscapes over centuries. It is UNDP’s ambition, together with the authorities and people of Serbia, to support tourism and recreation in protected areas, so that you can explore their treasures. Hiking, bird watching, sport fishing, camping, but also adventurous activities, such as mountain biking, canyoning, paragliding or rafting, offer multiple opportunities for spending high quality time outdoors. Tourism infrastructure – like visitor centres, educational signalization, ob- servation towers and walking trails – are currently being built in all the protected areas to facilitate and guide visitors in exploring the nature, while enhancing the understanding and willingness to protect their unique character and inherent, rare species. I hope this “Atlas of Tourism Potential of Serbian Protected Are- as” will inspire you, guide you to remote corners of Serbia, and wake your curiosity to explore some of the most beautiful sides of this country. I would like to use the opportunity express my gratitude to the protected area managers for their valuable con- tribution in preparing it. I wish you a pleasant journey through this Atlas and, of course, through many of the protected areas in Serbia!

  • Regional Characteristics of Market Production of Fruit and Grapes in Serbia
    REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET PRODUCTION OF FRUIT AND GRAPES IN SERBIA Original scientific paper Economics of Agriculture 1/2018 UDC: 913:[346.54:641.13+634.8.076](497.11) doi:10.5937/ekoPolj1801201S REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET PRODUCTION OF FRUIT AND GRAPES IN SERBIA1 Simo Stevanović2, Snežana Stevanović 3, Svjetlana Janković-Šoja4 Summary In the paper analyzes the trends in the development of market production of fruit (on the example of the apple and the plum) and grapes in Serbia from 1976 to 2015. The grouping of the Serbian districts according to the degree of the market production of fruit and grapes in 2015 was performed by a cluster analysis, on the basis of the six features of production, five features of the capacities, and five features of development. According to the data for 2015, the degree of the marketability of apples in Serbia was 47.7%, plums 15.9%, and grapes 18.3%. The Serbia-North Region shows a surplus in the production of apples, and a deficit in the production of plums (-181.7%) and grapes (-99.1%). The Serbia-South Region has a surplus in the production of the analyzed kinds of fruit (the apple accounting for 43.0%, and the plum 50.9%) and grapes (45.2%). Keywords: market production of fruit, economic development, I-distance, cluster analysis JEL: Q-13, O-11 Introduction Serbia is a traditionally significant producer of all kinds of continental fruit and grapes. Given the commercial, technological and nutritive characteristics of fruit production, 1 The paper is part of the research conducted on the “Serbia’s Rural Labor Market and Rural Economy – Income Diversification and Poverty Reduction” Project, No.

  • Central Europe As Semi-Border and Semi-Urban Region and Its Marketisation
    CENTRAL EUROPE AS SEMI-BORDER AND SEMI-URBAN REGION AND ITS MARKETISATION JAN SUCHÁČEK Introduction or Brief Description of Central Europe The notion of ‘Central Europe’ has traditionally attracted much attention. Numerous issues connected with this enormously complex and appealing region go beyond the extent of this article; however, it should be stated that, as defi ned by Milan Kundera, the area was “geographically in the Centre, culturally in the West, and politically in the East”1. Various cultural and political streams, often almost antagonistic but at the same time intensely interconnected, have shaped the character of this territory. Before 1989, political arguments that stressed the absurdity of two separate Europes were prevailing in the context of the idea of a Central Europe. Since 1989, one has been able to observe the slow return of common pluralistic values so typical of Central European culture. Over the past years we have witnessed the rebirth of the idea of Central European partnership, which can be perceived as a process of positioning in the context of EU enlargement. The region of Central Europe2 is currently infl uenced by two relevant processes. The fi rst one is a spontaneous process of economic and social restructuring. It involves the whole Central European space. The second is a specifi c process of transition in Central Eastern Europe that includes a major part of Central Europe.
