The dynamism and flexibility of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and their high share in basic macroeconomic indicators determine the role of this sector in the economic development of countries. In order to make satisfactory business results of SMEs, it is necessary to generate and provide a stimulating business environment. This paper stresses, in addition to consideration of the current situation in the SME sector in Serbia, a critical review of business conditions. The used methods of scientific observation and testing, as well as the method of comparative analysis, are important in determining the current position and understanding the potential for further development of small and medium enterprises in Serbia. The purpose of this research is systemizing the advantages and disadvantages of SMEs on the territory of Serbia, and accordingly, the formulation of valid recommendations for policymakers and potential investors, in order to continually improve performances of this sector.

ANALIZA STANJA I FAKTORA RAZVOJA SEKTORA MALIH I SREDNJIH PREDUZEĆA U SRBIJI
Dinamičnost i fleksibilnost malih i srednjih preduzeća (MSP) i njihovo visoko učešće u bazičnim makroekonomskim agregatima determinišu važnu ulogu ovog sektora u ekonomskom razvoju zemalja. Da bi rezultati poslovanja MSP bili zadovoljavajući neophodno je generisanje i obezbeđivanje stimulativnog poslovnog ambijenta. U radu je pored sagledavanja trenutnog stanja u sektoru MSP u Srbiji, učinjen kritički osvrt na uslove poslovanja. Korišćeni metodi naučnog posmatranja i ispitivanja, kao i metod komparativne analize, imaju značaja u determinisanju trenutne pozicije i sagledavanju potencijala za dalji razvoj malih i srednjih preduzeća u Srbiji. Svrha istraživanja jeste sistematizovanje prednosti i nedostataka poslovanja MSP na teritoriji Srbije, i u skladu sa tim, formulisanje validnih preporuka za kreatore ekonomske politike i potencirajlne investitore, a sve u cilju kontinuiranog unapređenja performansi ovog sektora.
