Elementary school “Milan

biggest schools in Serbia,

Potential development areas

1. dominant share of agricultural production in the total functional structure:
• ability to supply the food industry with quality vegetables (which are produced especially in the villages that have a tradition in
the production of certain types of vegetables, and conditions for the development of health-safe food )
• agricultural-cattle region of exceptional potential for development of livestock production
2. considerable potential in the areas of mineral and energy raw materials
3. mild terrain configuration allows the implementation of extended networks of communication and the provision of accessibility
of each site
4. slightly rolling landscapes, in the river valleys, covered meadows, pastures, orchards, vineyards and forests as potential in the
creation of an entity-specific and recognizable settlement structure and the prerequisites for the development of tourism, sport
and recreation.
