Abstract

Serbia and Montenegro should prepeare for two important agreements in the field of trade-Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with EU and membership in WTO. Basic elements of SAA consider market liberalization, and it should establish free trade zone between Serbia and Montenegro and EU. Many of livestock products, because of their sensitivity and importance for EU market, are excluded from the general rule so after coming into force of SAA, the customs tariffs for export into the EU will be abolished. This paper will present regime of market liberalization of livestock products supposed by SAA (signed by Macedonia and Croatia up to now) which is framework for future Serbia and Montenegro agreement.

Srbiji i Crnoj Gori predstoji potpisivanje dva važna sporazuma u oblasti trgovine-Sporazuma o stabilizaciji i priključenju (u daljem tekstu SSP) sa EU, i pristupanje WTO. Osnovni elementi SSP tiču se liberalizacije prometa i treba da dovedu do formiranja slobodne trgovinske zone sa EU. U ovom sporazumu proizvodi stočarstva tretiraju se posebnim klauzulama, imajući u vidu njihov značaj i osetljivost za tržište Unije. U radu će biti prikazani režimi liberalizacije prometa stočarskih proizvoda predviđeni SSP (koji su do sada potpisale Makedonija i Hrvatska) koji predstavljaju okvir u kom se mogu očekivati i rešenja za našu zemlju.
