  • 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.

  • Reporting on the Reasons for the Acquisition of Own Shares1
    REPORTING ON THE REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF OWN SHARES Review Article Economics of Agriculture 3/2014 UDC: 347.728.2 REPORTING ON THE REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF OWN SHARES1 Vladan Pavlović2, Janko Cvijanović3, Srećko Milačić4 Summary Mere knowledge that the company has acquired own shares is not always of great importance. Information on the acquisition of own shares from dissenting shareholders or the squeeze-out of minority shareholders is not of great importance to the users of financial statements. In the first case, it is far more significant to disclose the significant event that allowed dissenting shareholders to resign from the company. However, the purchase of own shares due to certain reasons, such as the purchase of own shares at a premium in order to influence the market value of shares, the repurchase focused on preventing greater harm to the company, which is especially true at a time of financial crisis, or the repurchase of own shares as a means of disbursing shareholders, is of great importance to the users of financial statements. Therefore, modern legislation in developed countries obliges companies to disclose a range of information regarding own shares, including the reasons for the acquisition. The above is also proscribed by the relevant EU directives and national legislation. The paper points out that the legal norms governing the obligation of reporting on own shares in Serbia are not harmonized and that most public companies in Serbia, despite the legal obligation, do not disclose the reasons for the acquisition of own shares. Key words: own shares, reporting, management report, notes to financial statements JEL: M41, G32, K22 1 This paper is a part of the results of the research on Project 179001 supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Serbia.
