“…This research encompassed the countries of the former Yugoslavia. In the countries of the former Yugoslavia, poor agricultural production and economic performance are a consequence of the many constraints that this sector of the economy has faced in recent decades (Brankov and Lovre, 2017; Nikolić et al, 2017). Today, the former Yugoslavian countries are under a lot of pressure from regional food and trade corporations whose sole purpose is profit, and that often does not fit the development plans for the rural environment.…”

Food insecurity creates serious ethical, economic, and stability problems in all countries of the world, resulting in a need for its research. Each country seeks to ensure the highest degree of self-sufficiency in meeting the food needs by its own food production. However, the production of a sufficient quantity of food, and in particular its adequate structure, is not always fully realized. Therefore, ensuring food security has become an issue of primary strategic importance. Given that all the countries of the former Yugoslavia are relatively new countries undergoing a difficult period of transition, and that there are no local studies on food security, it remains to be examined how food- secure these countries are today and what factors affect their food security. The survey covered all countries of the former Yugoslavia: Republic of Serbia, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Montenegro, Republic of Croatia, Republic of Slovenia and Northern Macedonia. The survey data were taken from the FAOSTAT database, World Bank, as well as the national statistics of the countries of the former Yugoslavia, and hierarchical regression analysis was used. The results of the research showed that there is a statistically significant influence on the level of food security of all independent factors: general level of economic development, population growth, foreign trade, investments in agriculture. Of all the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia has emerged as the most nutritionally secure country, while the lowest level of food security has been observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the period of (around) 1855, Europe knows that several years ago the American Joseph Henry invented the first electromotor, but doesn't know that in some regions of Macedonia, instead of oxen, men were harnessed to plough the land" (Janevski, 1970).Period of XX century in Macedonia was extremely turbulent, besides the fact that it was century of 4 wars 3 on this territory. This historical change has strong impact to the all-economic and social aspects of ordinary life, including agriculture. So the main aim of this paper is to enlightening little bit more situation and condition of agriculture in North Macedonia during the XX century. Methodology was mainly desk research of historical and statistical data relevant for this field and changes, which are following agricultural production and productivity in this period (XX century).In Macedonia, during the XIX century, institutional settings established in the Ottoman Empire have been put into force. The owner of the land was the Turkish aristocrat "spahija". The people who worked on the spahija's assets were "raja".Private agriculture in Macedonia has been established around 1912 when Macedonia was finally freed from the Ottoman occupation.There are four phases in the historical development of agriculture and agricultural relations in Macedonia throughout history, actual within the XX century: the period of the Ottoman Empire; the period between the two World Wars; the period of Socialism (1945Socialism ( -1990; and the period since independence until now. 4 The transition to the modern, as opposed to historic, period in Macedonia started in 1990 and continues to today.Each of these periods has their sociological, economic and cultural characteristics. Of course, each period has different means of production and productivity that depend not only on the technological and technical development, but also, perhaps much more, on the social characteristics.

All CEFTA countries had very similar stages of economic development after World War II. Many of them were centrally-planned socialist economies and the political changes that have occurred in these countries in the late 20th century caused changes in the whole economic system, as well as in the agricultural sector. Aim of this paper is to compare economic performances of agriculture of these countries with former CEFTA countries
