The main goal of this study is to emphasise the geotourism potential and the values of geoethics as drivers of rural development in the territory of the Knjaževac municipality, which is one of the richest areas in Serbia in terms of geoheritage. Numerous objects of geomorphological and hydrological heritage stand out in an area of 1,202 km2. Despite this richness in geoheritage, the potential of geotourism development has been ignored by many stakeholders, and the geoheritage of this area has not been sufficiently explored and proposed for tourism purposes. This study makes an inventory of geosites in the municipality of Knjaževac. The selected sites were evaluated by applying the Modified Geosite Assessment Model to discover the most suitable geosites for future geotourism development, in order to select the geosite that possesses the greatest geotourism potential to support rural development. The results uncover information about the major areas of improvement for each evaluated geosite. Moreover, areas that demand more attention and better management in the upcoming period to become recognisable geotourism destinations were identified. It is pointed out that geoethical implications in geosite management can contribute to sustainable geoconservation in Eastern Serbia.

Mt. Stara Planina is located in the eastern part of the Republic of Serbia and represents the westernmost part of the large mountain massif of the Balkans. Both endogenous and exogenous forces created interesting geomorphological and hydrological features for geotourism development in this area. This article proposes a preliminary list of geomorphological and hydrological sites and analyses them to reveal which geosite possesses geotourism potential. This research was carried out by applying the modified geosite assessment model. In this article, ten geosites were singled out based on the degree of their attractiveness for geotourism development. The results reveal information about the key fields of improvement for each evaluated geosite, and identify which areas require more attention and better management in the upcoming period for Mt. Stara Planina to become a well-known geotourism destination that would attract a large number of tourists in the future.

Agribusiness in the Republic of Serbia is on the very beginning of its preparations for European integrations. There is a need to modernize the organizational structure, change the approach to human resources management, and introduce project approach in the realization of tasks of all businesses in this industry. Project teams are crucial for the coordination of strategic management approach and the basis for organizational strengthening and productivity growth. If project approach is not implemented properly, organizations in agribusiness will not be able to cope successfully with needed reforms. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of successful communication of project team members in agribusiness industry which can help to improve motivation while avoiding or minimizing misunderstandings. To analyze the problem of project team communication in agribusiness we have conducted a research on a sample of 16 project managers and 98 project staff members.

The paper aims to provide an overview of the rights of foreign citizens to acquire real estate,with an emphasis on their right to acquire agricultural land in the Republic of Serbia through a methodological-theoretical framework. The legislation which has regulated the said legal concept in our region in different ways throughout history will be viewed through the prism of history by using the historical method. The current regulations which regulate the said subject matter in the Republic of Serbia will be analysed by the normative method, in addition to the use of content analysis that will complete this research through the systematic anlysis of literature. The conclusion will sum up the results of the research which point to the fact that even though in certain periods foreign citizens were entitled to acquire agricultural land, their right was never complete as it implied meeting certain requirements.
