Summary/Abstract: In the past few years of accelerated transition, Serbia has encountered a large number of problems which are not only a typical feature of the transition process but also a remnant of the situation inherited from a recent past and the governing socio-economic policy which has been predominant in the field of social and economic development. Hie major problem is the low economic development which generates numerous other problems such as high unemployment rate of the workforce, ongoing economic instability, deficit in foreign economic relations, etc. Hie main task of a development policy is to overcome such a state of affairs in economy and speed up the process of economic development. Beside more considerable investments and new technologies, one of the vital requirements is to speed up the reforms of the economic system. An additional significance of this process stems from the fact that Serbia is strategically orientated towards accession to the European Union. Under the given circumstances, the reforms are not only to contribute to the acceleration of the economic development but, at the same time, to draw Serbia closer to the European Union.
