The process of demographic transition throw which the population of Serbia has been undergoing in past decades is carried out in parallel and in interaction with the process of urbanization. According to the rate of urbanization at the level of European countries, Serbia is among less urbanized areas (with a relatively higher percentage of rural population compared to the European average). At the beginning of the XXI century, the population of Serbia faced major challenges, among which are: depopulation and aging, unemployment, migration caused by political and economic crisis as well as by wars and conflicts in the past, etc. Adequate urban development policies, including the implementation of guidelines proposed by the New Urban Agenda, can have a significant impact on demographic trends, as well as on the direction of urban development and the reduction of negative effects. 1. Managing rapid urbanization Like in most countries of South Eastern Europe, the process of intensive urbanization in the Republic of Serbia was initiated in the second half of the twentieth century. Until 60s, Serbia's economic structure had exclusively agricultural character, the population being mainly rural, too. After the Second World War, Serbia was affected by intensive processes of industrialization and deagrarianization, which caused internal migration that has occurred primarily from rural to urban area. While in 1953 urban population seemed little more than one-fifth of the total population (22.5%) and two-thirds of the active population was employed in agriculture (67%), almost half a century later 59.44% (4,271,872) of the total population lived in urban areas, the share of employees in the primary sector activities being 11.8%. The urban growth had declining trend from the sixties. It should also be emphasized that the urban population grew more slowly than the rural population decreased.

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.

  • Kosovo's Economy and Serbian Economy
    Faculty of Business Economics and Entrepreneurship International Review (2014 No.1‐2) 114 ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER UDK: 330.341:32(497.11)ID BROJ: 208502540 Kosovo’s economy and Serbian economy Knežević Vladimir17, Kvrgić Goran18, Ivković Dragan19 Abstract The economic aspect of the study of Kosovo is absolutely neglected in comparison with other, mainly political aspects. Therefore, the economy of the area is for most unknown, which creates the most extreme and erroneous beliefs. One of it is that the economy has no positive performance and belongs to the most backward areas of Europe, and the other is that it is an invaluable economic potential, which if would be placed under the full control of Serbia quickly and effectively it will improve its overall economy. The aim is to get closer to the real picture of the economy of this area, and then put it into the context of the overall economy in Serbia. Therefore, Kosovo's economy is compared to the economy of the rest of the Republic, and the approximate projection of the current effects of potential integration into a single area. The economy of Kosovo is small, so the impact on the economy of the Republic in any case is irrelevant. On the other hand, the broader integration of Kosovo's economy is an essential prerequisite for reducing the gap in the underdevelopment of the rest of Serbia.

A total of 22 maize samples were collected from four different districts across the country: City of Belgrade (nine samples), Šumadija (eight samples), Podunavlje (four samples) and Kolubara (one sample). Toxigenic fungi were identified according to the morphological characteristics whereas the mycotoxins contamination were detected using biochemistry enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent (ELISA) assay. The tested samples were mostly infected with Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp., except that one sample originated from Kolubara was not contaminated with Aspergillus species. Fusarium graminearum was the most common species in the maize sample from Kolubara district (60%), F. verticillioides in the maize samples from Podunavlje (43.75%) and City of Belgrade (22.4%) districts, and Penicillium spp.

    Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti Vol. LXII Economic Sciences 95 - 101 BULLETIN No. 2/2010 Series Production of Raspberry in Kolubara District with 1 Export Orientation towards Istria District Market Roljević Svetlana, Potrebić Velibor, ðurić Ivan Institute of Agriculture Economics, Volgina Street 15, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The Republic of Serbia represents one of the leading countries in the production of raspberries. Significant quantities of raspberries in the country are produced in the territory of Kolubara District, thanks to the good resource basis and benefits of climate conditions. Confronted with numerous obstacles while participating in the sophisticated European market, raspberry producers from Kolubara District should establish stronger links with market restaurateurs and other entrepreneurs from Istria and thus their products could reach the consumers from all over the world during their visits to Istria in the summer months. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of increasing the volume of mutual cooperation between district and county in order to become competitive on the European market. Key words: production of raspberries, Kolubara district, county of Istria, bilateral cooperation JEL Classification: D13, D14, L17, L66, O13, Q13, Q17 Introduction The basic development of the Kolubara District is represented by the primary agricultural production and food processing industries. Fruit growing, as a form of primary production, is characterized by a number of comparative advantages over other branches of agriculture, and raspberry growing is characterized by a number of advantages over the other branches of fruit growing.
