INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALS
IN THE CORRIDOR X ZONE IN SERBIA

Although not properly valued as yet, corridor X represents the basic opportunity for development in Serbia (and also in Macedonia and Bulgaria, partly in Croatia and Slovenia). It is also the zone of high demographic concentration and the concentration area of functional capacities, infrastructure. Spatially, this is a relatively small area with high rates of agglomerated human, material, and some natural resources. The zone, therefore, determines industrial development directions and significantly influences spatial and regional polarization of the environment.

RAZVOJ INDUSTRIJSKOG POTENCIJALA
U ZONI KORIDORA X U SRBIJI Mada još uvek neadekvatno vrednovan, koridor X predstavlja bazičnu mogućnost za razvoj u Srbiji (takodje, i u Makedoniji i Bugarskoj i, delimično, u Hrvatskoj i Sloveniji). Predstavlja istovremeno i zonu visoke demografske koncentracije, kao i područje koncentracije funkcionalnih kapaciteta i infrastructure. Prostorno, radi se o relativno malom podrucju sa visokim stopama koncentracije ljudskih, materijalnih i nekih prirodnih resursa. Ova zona, stoga, odredjuje pravce industrijskog razvoja i značajno utiče na prostornu i regionalnu polarizaciju sredine.
