Agricultural holdings in Serbian enclaves in Kosovo represent a paradise for the survival, development and return of the displaced Serbian people. The method of observation and the method of analysis have examined the operation of agricultural holdings and clusters of vertical clusters - through a chain of agricultural holdings and institutions, as well as horizontals - through related entities using the same channels, as well as all state and regional bodies that can influence creation, functioning, growth and development of the cluster. By the method of synthesis, the authors give a solution that agricultural holdings will survive in the Albanian environment and should be joined in the form of clusters and doping warehouse development and to be the driver of the overall economic prosperity of the Serbian population in Kosovo. Problems of agricultural holdings in rural areas in Kosovo and Metohia are numerous, so it is necessary to enter into organized, economic and institutional measures in order to achieve strategic goals. In order to improve competitiveness on the market, agricultural holdings propose strategic linking to clusters, so joint holdings try to compensate for what they lack; human resources, working resources, finances (access to favorable credit sources), securing expansion of business links, tracking development trends, exchange of information on strategies, openness to new ideas, participation in the time and possibility of realization of joint investments, joint supply, new knowledge (organization of seminars ), training and conferences, joint marketing, visitshops), technologies. Associated in clusters of households reduce operating costs through unified procurement, joint market presence, joint participation in marketing, branding and transport costs to the end customer. State of Serbia (adoption of adequate legal regulations, tax incentives, incentives) of the local government in the enclaves (a number of programs for awarding grants or programs in the form of co-financing for newly founded clusters, intended for purchase of fixed assets, work of the cluster office, certification and introduction of a system for quality management) and the Faculty of Agriculture in Leskovo as a scientific and professional institution have an important positive, stimulating, and constructive role in the establishment of clusters, by providing expert advice. The development of the cluster achieves the wider economic, social and general social interests of the Serbian community from increasing employment in rural areas, stimulation of young people to stay in Kosovo, upgrading agricultural production and preserving the environment as well as other aspects in rural areas.

The organic production in Serbian enclaves in Kosovo has a great potential based on the extensive production mostly in hilly-mountainous areas with rich and convenient environment for the organic production of medicinal plants, fruits, vegetables, wine, honey etc.,

In Sirinićka District, blackberries are mostly grown on smaller farms in highlands, where the best results are reached. However, the demands for this type of berries as well as the interest in its cultivation have steadily increased, recently. Thus, the main goal of this paper was to present the results of an economic analysis of blackberry production with the data obtained during the two years of monitoring a group of farmers in that area. It has been estimated and presented the profitability based on present marketing, agroclimatic and technological conditions and also the slightest blackberry yield achieved in the group of growers. According to the results of the economic analysis of blackberry growing, it can be concluded that production generates income, even with one third of yield potential. Cost-effectiveness in blackberry growing is 2.14. Depending of the investments in blackberry growing, profitability rate is 53.39%. These calculations show the advantages of blackberry growing in Sirinićka District, comparing to other fruits.
