“…However, the integration of agricultural production with the secondary and tertiary sectors is needed, which will ensure a higher degree of marketability of agri-food products. The role of agriculture in the development of society is significant [2], whether in terms of local development or sustainability of resources. The ultimate goal of enhancing LFPs' production should be the greater utilization of available natural resources [3], processing capacity increase, and improvement of the social position of the population.…”

Local food production benefits sustainable regional development and should be considered as one the pillars of sustainable regional development strategies. Local food producers share a common heritage because of the cultural and historical ties in their regions, while consumers tend to value food products produced locally. The purpose of this article was to explore market participants’ attitudes toward the impact of local food product attributes on sustainable regional development. The authors’ findings on the main advantages and barriers to consumption of local food products have pointed out the complexity of the relationships between market participants (i.e., producers and consumers) and indicated that a deeper understanding is necessary for overall economic development. The problems of local food products in Serbia, in the context of sustainable regional development, have not been investigated so far, and for this reason, it is important to analyze the differences between consumer and producer attitudes to reduce this perceived gap in the literature. In this way, these insights can offer opportunities for strategic actions in regard to the local food product supply and consumption, with the aim of including different regional stakeholders.

“…Development can be achieved by sustainable consumption (Sima & Gheorghe, 2015) and country of origin serves as a very important basis for this consumption (Šapić et al, 2018). All that that require an integrated approach to the social, economic, environmental, and technological environment (Nica et al, 2018).…”

In Eastern Serbia in the Timok Region, the cult of household hospitality is still fostered. The Timok region belongs to the underdeveloped parts of Serbia and starting from the fact that the growth of local economy capacity also leads to overall regional development, the development of rural tourism could contribute to the well-being of the region. The paper examines sustainable development directions of rural tourism, taking into account the economic, environmental and social components, which are elements of sustainability. The authors apply Multi-Criteria-Decision-Making methods, ELECTRE as main, and AHP as an auxiliary method in the selection of an adequate and optimal solution. The aim of the paper is choosing the optimal projects for the development of rural tourism in the Timok region, based on well-defined criteria, among the several proposed projects.

“…Ceptureanu et al (2017) conclude that there is a strong relationship between the strategy and the corporate entrepreneurship and that the effect of those relations depends on organizational capabilities [15]. In addition, several studies show that among the strengths of successful organizations are entrepreneurs' ability to handle uncertainty and resilience [16]. Some companies are in a position to discover, evaluate, and exploit new opportunities better than the others because they implement entrepreneurial orientation as their strategic orientation [17].…”

This study explores the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on the activities of state universities in the Republic of Serbia. Using the ENTRE-U scale, the researchers have graded the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of the employees at state universities in the Republic of Serbia. In the theoretical part, the detailed literature review is provided, which contributes to a better understanding of terms like entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial university. Using data from 282 respondents who work at the state universities in the Republic of Serbia, the researchers validate the ENTRE-U questionnaire in a specific context. With this, it is proven that the ENTRE-U scale is applicable not only for developed countries but also for the developing countries, such as the Republic of Serbia. The general conclusion is that with using the ENTRE-U scale, it is possible to predict the level of innovativeness, as well as the nature of innovative activities that are conducted at state universities in the Republic of Serbia. The entrepreneurially oriented universities differ from those which lack entrepreneurial orientation by the extent of their research mobilization, unconventional approaches, the level of cooperation with industries, and the way university policies are implemented.
