Summary/Abstract: Many countries have timely recognized the relevant parameters for the development of a modern society. Rapid development of a modern technology necessitates the creation of a new policy that will keep up with the impact of technological changes. This means that a country must increase investment in research and development, in innovation, and increase funding aimed at raising the level of education. Education proves to be a worthwhile investment only if it is configured in such a way as to meet the requirements of the future. European leaders have realized that investing in European education is necessary for the European economy, so it could remain competitive in a global sense. In the context of further European prospects for Serbia, as well as its economic development, the priority for the country’s governing structures must be to find ways to overcome all the challenges and create links among the parameters of modern economy and society education, science and technological development. This is the road to creating a competitive and knowledge-based economy, aligned with the parameters of the European society. How far away Serbia today is from a European society, and what are the obstacles that stand in the way of its development, are the topics analysed in this paper.
