And their size is rough with the entire territory of Kosovo, it has been warned Friday at the “Support Forum for Europe” in Vrednik.

Besides the negative demographic trend, one of the main problems of present-day villages is the poor economic situation and the fragmentation of wealth, as well as the growing number of elderly residents. But the biggest problems have been observed in the mountain regions”, said Dragan Shkoric, chairman of the Council for Villages at the Serbian Academy of Sciences, Tanjug.

Presenting the alarming data, Shkoric has said it is the villagers themselves who are abandoning villages, where their livelihood depends on their work in the fields.
