“…Improving competitiveness will not be possible without adapting to the high and growing demands of the developed EU market, especially when production standards are concerned. Apart from the state support, organisational leaders with their initiatives also have an important role in promoting the international standards for business operations in the function of raising the competitiveness level [ 43 ]. As the structure of farms in the majority of the WB countries is unfavourable [ 44 ], where small farms predominate, the appearance of producers on the EU market is very difficult.…”

Trade agreements with the European Union (EU) and Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) significantly influenced the liberalisation of agri-food products in Western Balkan (WB) countries. In all Western Balkan countries, there has been an intensification of the trade of agri-food products and a partial change in the regional and commodity structures of trade. This paper aims to identify comparative advantages of agri-food sectors and consider its tendencies during the EU integration process. Additionally, this paper will discuss some opportunities for improvement of the export positions of agri-food products. In that context and based on the literature review, the indexes of revealed comparative advantages and its modified version will be used as a main method for analysis in this research. Results showed that all Western Balkan countries, except Albania, have comparative advantages in exporting agri-food products. It is evident that Serbia has the highest level of comparative advantages in this sector. Moreover, this paper suggests that all countries should aim to provide the best possible positions for their agri-food products during pre-accession negotiations for EU membership and take the necessary steps towards increasing the level of competitiveness in the common EU market.

“…Uvođenje QMS u malim i srednjm preduzećima -MSP ne treba posmatrati kao trošak već kao investiranje u poboljšanja koja donose bolje rezultate. QMS obuhvata standarde ISO 9001 koji su posvećeni procesima, a podjednako se mogu primeniti u svim delatnostima i veličinama preduzeća [17], [31]. Analiza primene i motivacije ISO 9001:2015 (QMS) u MSP urađena je na osnovu istraživanja i odgovora menadžera/menadžera kvaliteta u 93 MSP Rumunije.…”

“…U istom istraživanju, sistem upravljanja kvalitetom QMS je u jakoj pozitivnoj korelaciji sa kvalitetom proizvoda [6]. Da bi se utvrdilo koliko domaća preduzeća posvećuju značaj standardizaciji ISO 9000:2000 u cilju poboljšanja zadovoljstva klijenata i povećanja konkurentnosti sprovela se još jedna studija u Srbiji [31]. Autori su u svom radu sagledali konkurentnost preduzeća sa ekonomskih i ekoloških aspekata i proizvodnju usklađenu sa međunarodnim standardima.…”

Current sustainability challenges require businesses to develop their relations with customers and markets through relationship marketing and jointly create added value of their services responsive to environmental, social and economic requirements at the same time. This article also supports the gender equality within the SDGs (fifth goal). As (SMEs Report, 2018) micro companies make 89.137, small enterprises make 11.219, entrepreneurs in shops and services sectors make 272.969 and cooperatives in agriculture and food trade make 1.196, they comprise most of the SMEs sector in Serbia, while Medium-sized firms make 2.517, and large enterprises make 540. Female entrepreneurs, which represent 32% of all SMEs and 22% from cooperatives were selected for the research sample with the aim to primarily represent the sectors their businesses operate within. The empirical research was provided in Serbia in 2021 on the sample of 220 female enterprises, shops and cooperatives, most of which operate in service sectors. The aim is to indicate the importance of the institutional factors (IF, government support) and customer relationship marketing (CRM) and their influence on the sustainability of the women’s enterprises (WES). Findings show that CRM significantly impacts the WES, showing that the market and customer loyalty are the most important for the sustainability and resilience of the business. At the same time, results show the importance of the IF government measures’ and policies’ influence and reveal that insufficient attention that has been dedicated to (WES) and SDGs goals of gender equality in feminist economics.
