BREXIT: IMPLICATIONS FOR AGRICULTURE IN THE WORLD, IN EUROPE AND SERBIA

DABOVIĆ Dušan (),

The aim of this work is to determine the implications of Brexit for agriculture, on a global level, in Europe, that is, in the European Union, and in Serbia. The methods used are the method of text analysis, formal-legal method, comparative method, and statistical methods. The sources used in this work are prominent theoretical works in the given area, national and international regulations, reports from the relevant institutions, electronic databases, and newspaper articles. The work consists of an introduction, a section about the genesis of Brexit, a section about the implications for agriculture and a conclusion. In the section about the genesis of Brexit, a theoretical explanation by A. J. Toynbee is presented, which explains the rise, collapse and disintegration of a civilization, as well as the facts regarding the Constitution for Europe, Grexit, and the Migrant crisis. Also, in this section, the immediate causes of Brexit are analyzed, as well as possible directions of further development of the EU. In the section referring to the implications of Brexit for agriculture, we analyzed the consequences on a global level, in the EU and Serbia. On a global level, we analyzed the consequences that Brexit will cause within the World Trade Organization, as well as the very important issue of the future approach of the United Kingdom to genetically modified organisms. The consequences of Brexit in Europe, that is, the EU, are presented primarily in two models (the Norwegian and Swiss model) by which the United Kingdom will most likely continue to cooperate with the EU, as well as in other aspects of the disassociation. In the part that relates to the consequences of Brexit in Serbia, we analyzed the immediate consequence, which refers to the Serbian foreign trade with the United Kingdom, as well as the indirect effects relating to the pace of accession, or rather the access of Serbia to the agricultural funds of the EU.
