      abstract = {Development of strong and competitive sector of small and  medium enterprises has very
important role in process of  total transition in Republic of Serbia. This sector should  be one
of the guidelines of economical development in the  future, like in developed countries.
Within the ²Strategy  of development of SME and entrepreneurship in Republic of  Serbia
from 2003 to 2008² government of the Republic of  Serbia, not accidentally, placed, among
many other sectors  (which are expected to contribute and boost economical  development,
increase the employment rate, and realize  increased foreign export earnings), the sector  of
agricultural products processing. It can be concluded  that significant contribution from
agriculture to  improvement of overall economic status is expected.  Accession to EU should
be considered not only as the  opportunity, but also as a serious task in  agriculture
restructuring. However, aggravating  circumstance, in regard to export of agricultural and
food  products, first of all to EU countries, is the fact that  this market is under strict protective
measures within the  policy of agriculture and measures of agrarian  protectionism. In such
conditions, it is very difficult for  producers and food processors to enter such closed  markets.
Considering the flexibility of small and medium  enterprises with regard to production
programs, as well as  their capability to adjust to economical trends, it can be  expected
that they become one of the most important  subjects of support of agribusiness
development in Republic  of Serbia.},
