Summary/Abstract: Cooperatives for almost two centuries contribute to the development of agricultural production in the world. Of a great change in the modern economy did not miss cooperatives or cooperative as the institutional form that contributes to the improvement of primary agricultural production. The cooperative is the basic organizational form. In another aspect, and legal forms of organization of cooperatives were subjected to constant review, the redefinition and reaffirmation but not only in the cooperative law, but also in cooperative practices, particularly in the context of international organization. Evolutionary processes are taking place not only in the economic but also the legal theory. In the process of European integration, it is necessary that even in Serbia pay special attention to the analysis, review, and reorganization of the key elements in the legal and economic situation of the cooperative. This applies to its internal structure (organization) and the principles of its work and operations. Particular attention should be paid to the cooperative principles and rules by which the cooperative keeps its specificity in relation to other economic, non-economic subjects and adjusts to the new economic and social changes. Cooperative principles show adaptability to changes that are exposed to the cooperative. They also provided some new cooperative principles, such as: open membership, democratic member control, and others.
