Sažetak
The research aimed to rank 109 municipalities previously classified into Areas with Natural Constraints (ANC) for agricultural production in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). A tailored EDEO model was developed, operating with 12 criteria. Three criteria were selected from the four sub-groups: environmental, demographic, economic, and organizational. Initial data for each criterion score calculation were gathered from various secondary sources. The model aims to maximize the function by determining the distance of each municipality's values from each criterion's maximum or minimum value. The results revealed significant differences among municipalities, all previously classified into ANC, according to individual criteria and overall scoring. The additional classification of ANC municipalities based on extra criteria enables their prioritization for specific interventions in cases where providing financial and other support for the entire ANC is not feasible. The EDEO model also enables an objective adjustment of the level of support among municipalities that would otherwise be equally suitable for support because they all belong to areas with natural handicaps.
