The analysis of the possibilities of creating the sustainable competitiveness of an enterprise from the point of view of the functional uniformity of economic and ecological sustainability, as well as the production of products in compliance with the international standards for business operations, is the subject matter of the research conducted in this paper. The achievement of a higher level of competitiveness is a strategic goal of every enterprise, while the competitiveness of a product implies an appropriate standardization of quality. The starting assumption is that in order for enterprises to become competitive not only on the domestic market, but on the international market as well, it is necessary that they should standardize their business operations by improving the quality system. The goal is to gain an insight into how much significance domestic enterprises give to the standardization of quality, apart from the other needed factors, how interested they are in investing in the implementation of the ISO 9000:2000 standards, which are primarily oriented towards the satisfaction of client requirements, thus improving their own business operations. In this research study, the hypothetical-deductive methods, analytical-deductive and comparative methods, historical and statistical-descriptive methods, as well as the comparative statistical methods (ch2 Test, ANOVA), are used.

The purpose of writing the paper is the situation in agriculture in Serbia and the municipality of Kladovo, as well as the importance it achieves in the economic structure. At the level of Serbia, the importance of agriculture, forestry and fisheries (AFF) is analyzed through their contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) creation from 2016 to 2020, while for the municipality level the importance is determined by the amount of funds allocated in the local self-government unit (LSU) for the needs of agriculture from 2018 to 2020. The obtained results indicate a high share of AFF in GDP creation (6.3% during 2020) and a low share of budget funds in the total budget of the municipality for support of rural development (2.34% in 2020). The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibilities for further development of agriculture in the Republic and the Municipality. The paper uses methods of critical analysis of relevant literature, as well as descriptions for interpreting the results obtained by empirical research.

The paper dealt with the existence of causality in Granger's sense between competitiveness and market share, and vice versa, on emerging markets so as to answer the question whether it is possible to forecast the movement of the market share of an enterprise based on the data about the movement of the competitiveness of that enterprise. The research study was carried out on 96 textile companies from Serbia. Montenegro. and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of research have shown that relationship between competitiveness and market share is generally weak and in many industrial sectors it is nonexistent. In other words, the research results reveal that the existence of causality in Granger's sense between competitiveness and market share on the selected emerging markets depends on the branch of textile industry.

Grape and wine production in Serbia is one of the significant branches of agricultural production. Grapes and wine produced in Serbia have for many years a reputation of good quality products. Grapes and wine are recognizable agricultural products that market well in the international market. The consequences of the transition have left their mark on the production of wine in Serbia. The old agricultural combines were sold, or simply ceased to operate, and as a result, a several of well-known winemaking brands ceased to exist. From 2000 onwards, a new trend has emerged, that is, the formation of small private wineries in Serbia. They become the backbone in wine production. We have just paid attention to them in this paper. We believe that small wineries will be the backbone of wine production. For this reason, we conducted a survey to ask the producers themselves what problems they encountered with organizing the production, the association for the sake of easier placement of wine, as well as the sale of their products.
