    BULETINUL Vol. LXI Seria 1 - 8 Universităţii Petrol – Gaze din Ploieşti No. 1/2009 Ştiinţe Economice Tourist Potentiality in the Rural Areas in Vojvodina – North Serbia1 Predrag Vuković, Nataša Kljajić, Nada Mijajlović Institute of Agriculture Economics, Belgrade, Volgina 15, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Since the end of the last century the mass tourism and its concept have reached culmination. General tendencies are focused on the tourist development towards new directions in the domain of particular needs. Future touristic development should be based on the various rural areas. Pollution, allienation from the natural environment, standardization are only a few concepts of ordinary life influencing a lot of people to turn back towards nature and the healthy way of living. Vojvodina is situated on the north part of Serbia, belonging to the Panonian area. Natural and geographical benefits offer good possibilities for investing and development. Vojvodina is marked with very attractive natural ambient: Fruška Gora, National Park, Kovilj- Petrovaradin boogy region, typical villages and farms, rivers like Danube, Tisa Tamiš etc. This area, also is characterized by rich antropogenesis resource marked with strong multiethnic element. All above mentioned characteristics offer great potential for further rural development and represent the possible starting point for further total development of this area. Key words: tourism, sustainable development, rural area JEL Classification: L83, O18, Q01 Introduction As in many other industries, accepting the terms, so frequent in recent future, like tourist industry, leasure industry , in tourism in the very beginning of its development phases, natural resources and their exploitation were not placed among important factors.

It is the single biggest multi-billion-dollar export earning industry; it is the nontraditional exporting industry with the greatest prospect for labor-using growth. At present, over seventy five percent of the total export earnings is from the RMG industry, and it employs near to 1.6 million of people of which about ninety percent are women. As the industry recruits, available, unskilled, semiskilled, and little educated workforce, the wage payments to the workers are lower, sometimes below the minimum wage. This wage cost advantage is the most significant factor of the RMG industry expansion in the economy. But the labor productivity is very low like wages; in fact, it is comparable with any other South Asian country. Unfortunately, the owners not only exploit the workers paying low wages, but also provide poor quality of working conditions, medical, leaves, and other facilities.

Due to the inadequat understanding and defining business demands, numerous projects end up not being successfully finished. Being aware that client demands are changing, many companies decide to use agile methodologies which generally contribute to faster and more efficient information systems development. However, there are many tools and methodologies which are considered to be agile. Companies decide to use two or more methodologies for managing projects of information systems development, in order to use their advantages and adjust them to their business model.

  • Serbia 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report
    Serbia 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Serbia. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Serbia country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Serbia at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to crime. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Belgrade as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The considerable risk from crime is due to the activities of Organized Crime (OC) groups, as Serbia is a main trafficking route from the east to Europe. Rival OC groups target each other in a competitive market, as an ongoing turf war between OC groups over drug distribution rights, resulting in violence to include assassination by firearms and explosives. In 2019, there was one OC-related attempted murder and six OC-related murders in Serbia, a significant decrease from the previous year. None of these murders resulted in a criminal conviction, and most lack even a single suspect. All seven involved firearms. Local media reporting notes that in 2018, 35-40 OC attacks occurred in Belgrade, most involving firearms or car bombs.
