The utilization of all potentials of small and medium-sized enterprises, in terms of their contribution to the growth and development of national economy and poverty reduction, is largely conditioned by the degree of institutional support provided by the state through relevant mechanisms. The role of small and medium-sized enterprises is particularly important in transition countries, which are faced with problems of high unemployment, low level of economic activity, lack of competition, lack of investment and are dominated by large and inefficient state enterprises. For these reasons, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is seen one of the greatest development opportunities. The methodological approach used in this study is primarily based on presenting quantitative indicators of the level of development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Serbia and EU member states, which show that there is a direct correlation between the degree of industrialization of a country and the share of small and medium-sized enterprises in its economy. |
