Abstract


The paper provides an analysis of social entrepreneurship in the Republic of Serbia, with a focus on the current state of the sector and its potential for integrating socially vulnerable population groups. The overview traces the development of social enterprises in the Republic of Serbia, highlighting numerous challenges they face, such as diversity in organizational structures, financial instability, limited scope of operation, regulatory deficiencies, and a prevailing lack of awareness about the significance of the field. The analysis emphasizes the need for conducting comprehensive research to examine the impact of the new legal framework, social effects of operations, funding mechanisms, achieving sustainability, and opportunities for acquiring management knowledge. In conclusion, the paper advocates for the formulation of thoughtful public policies, the establishment of robust institutional frameworks, and the creation of comprehensive support networks. These steps are considered crucial for fully harnessing the potential of social entrepreneurship as an effective means of addressing key social issues in the Republic of Serbia.
