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%).

    TOURISM IN FUNCTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Tourism as a Generator of Employment (TISC 2019) – Thematic proceedings II DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Jovan Rudež 1; Sr đan Drobnjak 2; Abstract The development of tourism and tourist destinations, especially in certain regions of Serbia, depends on the increase of social capital of the destinations. It applies particularly if the goal is to enter the international market, that is to attract foreign guests in a way which is in accordance with the local community development programme. This article has analyzed the way how to enlarge social capital with the aim to attract foreign tourist and then to test the integrative model iModel which is based on systematic thinking. Next, the relationship between systematic thinking, tourism and social capital has been discussed. The research has been done on Podunavlje District, whose market can be the regional countries and some developed countries such as Germany and Austria as well. The capacities can be enforced by enlarging social capital which needs the help of all the participants at the destination. This study is also based on the analysis of the application of local economic development programme (LED) related to the destination of Smederevska Palanka and Podunavlje District. Key Words: tourist destination, social capital, international market entrance, local development, model JEL classification: Z32, O15, R11 Introduction Tourism, as an extensive and prosperous branch of economy, still does not have an appropriate place in the economy development in Serbia and largely depends on the increase of social capital of the particular destinations (such as, e.g.

  • 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. The problem of the transitional part of Central Europe consists mainly in the discrepancy between formal and informal institutions3 1 Tomaszewski, A.: Central Europe: Cultural Property and Cultural Heritage, In: Central Europe: A New Dimension of Heritage, ICC, Cracow, 2003.

  • Council of Europe European Landscape Convention
    COUNCIL OF EUROPE EUROPEAN LANDSCAPE CONVENTION National Workshop on the implementation of the European Landscape Convention in Bosnia and Herzegovina Drawing landscape policies for the future Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina 25-26 January 2018 SESSION 1 SERBIA Mrs Jasminka LUKOVIC JAGLICIC Director Advisor, Regional Economic Development Agency, Sumadija and Pomoravlje The role of the Regional Economic Development Agency for Sumadija and Pomoravlje in the process of the implementation of the European Landscape Convention at regional and local level The Regional Economic Development Agency for Sumadija and Pomoravlje was founded in 2002 as the partnership between public, civil and private sectors, with the purpose of planning and management of equal territorial development. The Law on Regional Development (adopted in July 2009, “Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia”, No. 51/2009, 30/2010 and 89/2015) defined the competence and area of intervention of regional development agencies for planning of development processes at regional level, applying the principles of broad stakeholder participation, inter-municipal and cross-sector approach in identifying problems and measures to address them. REDASP consistently applies these principles in its work on the one hand and has the ratification of the European Landscape Convention on the other hand. Thus the Republic of Serbia has recognised the landscape as an essential component of the human environment and agreed to 1). establish and implement a set of policies aimed at the protection, management and planning of the area and 2). to establish procedures for involvement of the wider public, local and regional authorities, as well as other landscape policy stakeholders.
