Agricultural production in Montenegro has a long tradition and due to available natural resources it could present a backbone of economic development. Almost the entire agricultural production in Montenegro is con­ducted at family holdings. According to the most recent agricultural census from 2010, the total number of agricultural holdings is 48,847, whereof 48,824 are family agricultural holdings or 99%, whilst only 46 companies perform agricultural activities. Regarding the number of hol­dings, the lowest number is in Tivat, 169, whilst Podgorica has the pri­macy with 7,254 holdings. The paper displays the analysis of socio-demo­graphic and agrarian factors at family agricultural holdings. Demo­graphic picture of Montenegrin agricultural population is unfavorable, since intensive aging process has many negative implications, which could be expected in the future period, too.

Research Question: This paper investigates the trend and flow of foreign direct investments (FDI) in emerging markets, with the focus on FDI in Serbia in comparison with akin countries from the region. Motivation: FDI is an important factor of growth and prosperity in developing countries. It largely influences trade, productivity, and economic development of a receiving country. Based on UNCTAD’s World Investment Report of 2019, the share of global FDI in developing countries was 54 per cent, which was a record. Recently, Serbia has been recognized as one of the most popular destinations for FDI in Southeastern Europe. This motivated us to analyze the chances and possibilities of enlargement of FDI in Serbia, as well in other Balkan countries. Idea: The main idea of the paper is to analyze and estimate time series of FDI net inflows for Serbia. We strive to investigate whether FDI demonstrates the durable growth in the future period of time. Furthermore, we compare the state of Serbian FDI with the former Yugoslav countries, in search for disparities or similarities. Data: We observed the FDI net inflows that are measured in current US dollars, while the data were retrieved from the World Bank database. The earliest available time point is 1992, while the latest available year of observation is 2018. Tools: We estimated the FDI net flow time series using a list of suitable ARIMA models, and we have chosen the best model fit among them using AIC and BIC criteria. Findings: We have found that Serbia and North Macedonia show a mild growth in future investments. A significant percentage of the cumulative FDI inflows from EU companies have been invested precisely in Serbia, while in North Macedonia, fostering FDI has been promoted as one of the main instruments for employment and economic development. Oher Yugoslav countries tend to stagnate in the future period, which is in literature called a negative ‘Western Balkans’ effect on FDI. Contribution: Findings of the mild growth in FDI inflows in Serbia and North Macedonia contribute to the policy of attracting the FDI inflows in the countries of Southeastern Europe.

With the uncontrollable population growth in the cities, the rising need for settlement has increased the needs of the cities, as well as making the cities consumption centres. The housing intensity of urbanization were damaged at first, then the farms and agricultural production areas in the city periphery, and then it directly affected the natural resources such as air, water, soil, flora, and fauna. However, nature did not remain unresponsive to these events and responded to human beings with various natural disasters. Eventually, the human violence on nature has turned into the abuse nature exerts on human beings, with disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and fire as a kind of revenge of nature. The future of humanity becomes dependent on reconciliation with nature and adaptation to a sustainable lifestyle. This chapter examines the violence between human nature and urbanization with its causes and possible consequences and offers reconciliation suggestions for a sustainable life.

Rapid economic development in the XX century. brought a lot of benefits to mankind, as well as a significant man-made burden on the environment. Diversification in overcoming economic and environmental problems is especially felt in agricultural production, as the industry is most dependent on natural factors and it is here that the closest connection with the key problems of the state economy is revealed, and therefore requires skilled management. An urgent problem in the development of agricultural production management is the harmonization of economic processes in the ecological space, which are realized through a combination of natural resources and human labor, the reflective aspect of which is manifested in understanding the coexistence of both systems with positive feedback. Consideration of environmental issues through the prism of the economy of agricultural production, and vice versa, will provide an opportunity to resolve the contradictions in these areas and develop strategic priorities for marketing management of personnel in the direction of environmental protection, responsible attitude to land and natural resources. The main way to reflect on the greening of the economy is to rethink the need for agricultural production through the implementation of resource-saving and environmental technologies that provide an opportunity to work for the long term socio-economic development of the country. With the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU by Ukraine, the problem of greening economic activity requires the development of new approaches to its solution, taking into account the requirements for the organization of environmentally friendly agricultural production. The article deals with the main problems of the impact of agricultural production on the ecological environment which has an interconnection and it influences on the development of production in the strategic perspective. It is considered the reflexive aspect of management of labor processes in the context of development of strategy of greening of agricultural production. In theory the reflective aspect is considered through the perception of the economic system of environmental problems and also considering the mutual influence and equivalence of metabolic processes occurring between systems which are presented. The article analyzes the essence and the basic tool of managing the processes of greening of agriculture production. It was studied the experience of the policy of greening og economic activity of enterprises in foreign countries.The tools of state support of agricultural enterprises and strategies of development of ecological production were considered.
