Summary/Abstract: Socio-economic cohesion in Serbia should be built on a reduction of the differences between the levels of development of various regions, especially in rural areas, and via the system of good practice within the EU. Most often, economic cohesion is explained by the equalisation of regional disparities in development in Serbia but, generally speaking, also by what is defined as the quality of the European model that should be followed. This comprehends taking care of a series of social indicators such as health, quality of the environment, the quality of education, the level of crime, issues of migration, etc. That is the European path of connections between social and economic development. For a strategy of balanced regional development to be realised in Serbia, consensus and a sense of working together between all the relevant institutions and organisations is particularly important. In the EU, it is impossible to imagine that policy can be rationalised and implemented without the serious involvement of all stakeholders and state and non-government institutions and organisations.
