Sažetak

For a number of years there has been an ongoing process of migration from rural areas to urban industrial centers. A large and strategically important areas remain uncovered with population, and their resources unused. At the same time, development of urban centers leads to excessive concentration of population and industry, which produces negative consequences in the economic, social, spatial and ecological spheres. Therefore, Serbia’s economic policy should focus on developing rural areas and on encouraging better use of its natural resources. Agriculture and rural tourism should be the pillars of economic development and the main source of its competitiveness in domestic and international markets. The establishment of institutions, rules and policies that guarantee equal access to knowledge, capital, technology and other services is a prerequisite for efficient and sustainable transformation of rural areas. Clustering of small and medium enterprises and the establishment of cooperation based on trust and good business practices would increase food production, its quality and competitiveness of exports. Moreover, additional activities such as marketing, distribution, transport, etc. would also develop and that would have a huge impact on employment growth. Because of all these advantages for society, enterpreneurship should become the key factor for better rural development.
