One of the examples of how good ideas take an unbelievable turn in the
domestic practice is also the stimulation of welfare entrepreneurship,
as a market way of reducing long-term unemployment and poverty. Much
more present in Serbia are debate between the state, experts and “old
and “new” welfare companies about who is endangering who in this
business, than the volume and quality of this type of support to
vulnerable groups, writes Milica Milovanović.

It is estimated that, each month, around 100 women who give birth in
Serbia freeze the blood from the umbilical cord of their newborn
children, as security for their safer future. For banks and insurance
companies this is a new market niche with a potentially large number
of clients with low payment abilities, but with high motivation. That
is why the offers are adapted to the circumstances, writes Bizinis i
Finansije (Business and Finance) monthly magazine.
The Infoterm company of Niš exports high-techproducts and services on
markets from Germany to China. But in order to preserve the present
jobs and ensure new ones on the global market, the things it cannot
export together with its products, but must resolve them at home, are
domestic problems: from the accumulated and contradictory regulations,
through the lack of experts, to banks which behave as if the economy
is working for them, and not they for the economy, writes Marko
Miladinović.
There are currently around 50 franchises functioning in Serbia, 80
percent of which are foreign, most often for the distribution of
products. Both in the world and in our country the percentage of those
who close down a franchise business is much smaller than in the case
of independent entrepreneurship. This statistics is crucial for some
when deciding to start a job even at the time of a crisis, writes
Aleksandra Galić in the Belgrade based magazine Business and Finance.
If all the businessmen, bookkeepers, accountants and citizens were to
be forced into one TV set or on one billboard, perhaps they would be
able to find the “single window” promised to them, already a year ago,
by the Serbian prime minister himself. Everyone who wants to, it was
promised, should be able to appear at a window, either of the Pension
and Disability Insurance (PIO) Fund or the Republic Health Insurance
Institute (RZZO), it does not matter which, and to register or cancel
an employ at one place.
