Abstract
In the years ahead, the European perspective of Serbia/Serbia and
Montenegro shall be observed and tested through the Stabilisation and Association
Process, initiated by the EU for the countries of the Western Balkans. The Process
(initiated for Serbia and Montenegro in October 2005), apart for the political,
security and other aspects, implies significant adjustments and the transformation
of the overall economic system. Agriculture, that is, agrarian-economic structure
and the agrarian policy, is one of the most important but at the same time one of the
most sensitive sectors. This paper is trying to answer the following questions in the
light of new perspectives and comparisons – is Serbia/Serbia and Montenegro
moving towards Europe, and at what pace; to what extent are agrarian structure and
agrarian policy (in)compatible with the European processes and standards and what
are the crucial problems in this sector that need to be solved on the path towards
Europe.
