2008 SME Policy Index 2008 - National Report of the Republic of Serbia

The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool in countries in South East Europe (SEE) and Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99 that monitors and evaluates progress in implementing the main policy framework for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development elaborated by the European Union: The European Charter for Small Enterprises. The OECD Investment Compact for South East Europe develops the Index in a joint effort with the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Training Foundation. The publication presents an annual assessment of the SME Policy Index in Serbia for 2008 of two policy dimensions: (1) education and training for entrepreneurship and (IV) availability of skills. Beside the assessment on the SME Policy Index, the Study also provides results of the survey among key stakeholders in Serbia about the establishment of a Regional Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning in Zagreb (Croatia).
