This paper gives an overview of cooperative sector in the Republic of Serbia, with special emphasis on those types of cooperatives that have a significant role in the development of rural areas. In that sense, the focus is on agricultural cooperatives, which account for about 67% of the total number of registered co-operatives in Serbia, but are as well extremely important in terms of employment and participation in the gross domestic product of the cooperative sector. In addition, the effects of the change in cooperative law and the existing state support are examined. Further, serious shortcomings are also pointed out, which are primarily reflected in the non-existence of credit and savings cooperatives that jeopardize the vitality of other types of cooperatives. The analysis suggests that there is some progress, but that the potentials of cooperatives for the development of rural areas are still insufficiently used in Serbia.
