There are constant changes in the modern development of the society, signalling that the existing orders are no longer suitable for the participants of trade and political agreements. The prospect of the UK leaving the EU took the markets and politicians by surprise. It is clear that Brexit brings economic and political consequences of disintegration not only for the United Kingdom, but also for the EU partners and for the future of European integration. The subject of our article is to find out the causes for disintegration processes in the UK. The purpose of the article is to analyse the economic and non-economic factors influencing the decision of the referendum on leaving the European Union. In order to look at the reasons for Brexit, this article collects economic and non-economic factors that influenced it. The study uses general scientific methods: analysis of the macroeconomic indicators of the UK over the years of participation in the EU, data fromthe latest scientific papers on Brexit. The results suggest that unemployment rate, lower GDP or inflation cannot be decisive when it comes to leaving the EU. In line with this view many contemporary studies show that the exit is not profitable from an economic point of view and will affect the macroeconomic indicators of the state. Moreover, there is considerable normative uncertainty about how the exit process will be carried out. This further indicates that the process is unlikely to be completed. In conclusion we say that the main reasons for Brexit are determined socially, historically and geographically and associate with the strong identification of voters primarily as citizens of the nation-state, rather than the European Union.

“…Empirical studies concluded that EU accessions stepped up growth, even after accounting for the favorable global context 2 in the 2004-07 accessions. 3 Böwer and Turrini (2009) found that EU-NMS growth was higher during the EU-accession period -after controlling for standard growth drivers and dummies variables to account for the favorable context. Campos, Coricelli, and Moretti (2014) concluded that growth in EU-candidate countries soared in anticipation of the 2004 EU-enlargement.…”

“…For Serbia, which is currently a candidate country for EU membership, the experience in pre-accession negotiations of New Member States (NMS), i.e., Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) are a valuable benchmark for future integration processes. Böwer and Turrini [5] investigated the effects of EU accession on NMS, and they concluded that this region has widely benefited from economic and institutional integration with the EU. The socioeconomic growth recorded in NMS after the recovery from transition shock in the early 1990s has been impressive.…”

Rural regions with a larger share of the primary sector in the overall economy are limited in their ability to achieve a sufficient level of competitiveness. In countries such as Serbia, where rural areas play an important role, addressing the problems affecting these areas is important for overall development. The purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic performance of the rural regions of Serbia and the EU in order to indicate the position of Serbia’s rural areas in the process of European integration. NUTS 3 (NUTS 2 for Germany) was used for analysis, and from this an Index of Socioeconomic Performance was created. This Index was created using Factor Analysis. The results point to Serbia lagging behind other EU regions in terms of development, with most of Serbia’s rural regions receiving the lowest ratings. These results are cause for alarm and indicate a need to create strategies that will direct resources towards key issues in these areas, whose potential would be adequately used through the implementation of rural policy measures, with the aim of overall socioeconomic development.
