In the study, the evaluation by the top management and the supervisory board of medium-sized agricultural enterprises in the Republic of Serbia is presented, as a basis for making correct business decisions in business in the following period of time. The goal of the work was to reveal the existence of differences in the evaluation of the analyzed factors: satisfaction with the company's operations, the level of information about the operations of all parts of the agricultural company, cooperation with other legal entities from the environment of the agricultural company, online sales as a modern form of business and tax policy that affects business. The obtained results indicate that there are significant differences in the evaluation of all factors, as well as their overall score, as well as that the supervisory board, as the highest management body in the company, has more confidence in the decisions made by the top management. In the end, it should be pointed out that the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.527 is obtained by applying the regression analysis, that is, the prediction model obtained is 52.7% of the total variance. Therefore, such a model is significant (p<0.0005, F=27.487), i.e. the total operating costs of medium-sized agricultural enterprises can be predicted based on the analyzed factors, which is a key contribution of the author of this study. In addition, reporting according to the requirements of external users implies in special cases the preparation of business reports in English and their delivery within the prescribed period.

The purpose of the study was to analyze two forms of invoicing in the operations of public companies that were established by local self-government units in the Republic of Serbia. At the same time, to point out the importance of introducing electronic invoicing in regular business. The author's focus was on the comparison of classic and electronic invoicing with the aim of improving the future financial reporting of companies according to the administrative bodies of local self-government units. The analysis of this process was carried out through a threefold observation of the evaluation, namely: employees, top management of the company and management of the administrative bodies of local self-government units. Our contribution is reflected in the fact that we discovered that there are large differences in the level of significance of the t test, i.e. they are less than the threshold level of significance for all analyzed factors (p<0.0005*) in all 6 analyzed factors and in their total observation, between classical and electronic invoicing. Also, higher values were obtained when evaluating electronic invoicing compared to classical financial reporting of public companies, which indicates the importance of introducing the mentioned form of financial reporting.

The aim of this paper is to investigate regional planning, which is a very important factor in the development of each country and region. This research contributes to the possibility of improving the living standards of citizens and contributes to more complete and comprehensive study of some important legal and economic issues that may arise in connection with the growing role of regional planning in the economic and economic system of each region. The paper presents the concept of regional planning, as well as theories and models that can be applied in planning and that can give the best economic effects, depending on its characteristics and specifics. At the end of the paper, a conclusion indicates that regional planning is a necessary instrument for further development of each region, which represents an opportunity for employment of citizens and raising the level of their wellbeing.

The organization of agricultural production in countries such as the Republic of Serbia should be as close as possible to optimality. This can be achieved in different ways. One of the ways to improve the success and efficiency of business should be seen in the search for the most favorable form of obtaining loans from commercial banks. The paper highlights the importance of analyzing three types of loans, namely: a loan for refinancing intended for agriculture, an investment loan intended for agriculture and a loan for working capital intended for agriculture from the perspective of the efficiency of agricultural operations. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed for the observation period 2021-2022. The main conclusion is that there is a connection between the efficiency of agricultural operations with all three forms of taking loans by agricultural farms on a sample of N =149, that is, the obtained results confirmed this (p<.05). In addition, the study points to the existence of another conclusion, i.e. that the costs related to the taken loans in the observed period have an increase, but they do not have such an impact as the analyzed three forms of loans taken by agricultural holdings, because their impact is in the interval of 0.067 for 2021 to 0.070 in 2022.

Geophytes are plants of high biological diversity that depends to a great extent on the growing process. Based on what is stated, any new method of production of Narcissus L. has a decisive effect on its production. The aim of the study is to determine if it is possible to achieve better economic-agricultural results with a new method/form of plant growing (Narcissus L., Amaryllidaceae). Under the conditions of the Pannonian environment the production of two methods/forms of growing is compared. By measuring physical plant parameters (p=.00) the results show that the production is better using the standard method of growing. The realized value on the market is higher for the plants grown using the standard method of production (p<.05). The contribution of the author of the study is to indicate a new way of growing, which leads to a higher total value of production.

The result of accelerated development and technological progress is manifested through numerous changes in the labor market, primarily concerning the competencies of future employees. Many of those competencies have symmetrical character. The determinants that may influence the development of specific competencies are variable and dynamic, yet they share the characteristic of transcending temporal and spatial boundaries. In this paper we propose the use of a combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to rank 21st-century competencies that are developed independently of the formal educational process. Ability to organize and plan, appreciation of diversity and multiculturalism, and ability to solve problems appeared to be the highest-ranked competencies. The development of key competencies is symmetrical to the skills for the labor market. Also, the development of key competencies is symmetrical to the right selection of the quality of media content. The paper proves that the development of key competencies is symmetrical to the level of education of both parents. One of the key findings is that participants with higher levels of media literacy express more readiness for the contemporary labor market. Moreover, the family, particularly parents, exerts a highly significant positive influence on the development of 21st-century competencies. Parents with higher levels of education, in particular, provide a stimulating environment for learning, foster critical thinking, and encourage the exploration of diverse domains of knowledge.
