Abstract

Regional disparities are an ongoing, systemic and multi-decade challenge in Serbia, despite the fact that regionalization and regional policy issues occupy an important place in national public policy. Yet another peak appears to have been reached after the global financial crisis and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper seeks an answer to the question of how to reverse the divergent movements on the regional map and the increasingly sharp division into developed and underdeveloped areas. Also, how realistic and certain will it happen in the medium term? In this regard, the sustainability of regional growth drivers and the necessary institutional framework changes will be analyzed to achieve sustainable and efficient regional growth and a greater degree of regional cohesion.
