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.
Once the Serbian government presents a concrete plan for the revision of this year’s budget and when, by the end of the year, it offers a draft budget for 2012, it will be clear how much it has succumbed to the pressure of the election campaign, and how much it has managed to show readiness to identify itself, in the face of the new world crisis, and before investors, with a firm budget policy and with the respect of the Law on the Budget System, writes the September issue of the Biznis i Finansije (BIF) magazine.
Men are greater victims of transition than women, which led to the
family budgets increasingly depending on the latter. Nevertheless,
when all the data are taken into account, one comes to the conclusion
that transition was “blind” for gender differences, and that the
position of women has even relatively improved. The reason for this is
the fact that they work more often in the public than in the private
sector, where there was less sacking, writes Sanja Lazarević.
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.
