Brovic

Brović exists because Serbian mountain villages fill the terrain between major settlements—and because the Zlatibor-Arilje region produces raspberries that fund communities across the district. This settlement likely sits in or near the Zlatibor District of southwestern Serbia, where the raspberry economy has transformed agricultural villages into modest prosperity pockets.

The Arilje municipality, famous for its annual 'Days of Arilje Raspberry' festival, hosts dozens of villages whose economies center on berry cultivation. Whether Brović participates directly in this raspberry economy or maintains more traditional mixed agriculture, the regional context shapes what's possible: proximity to collection points, access to cold storage, connections to export markets that send Serbian raspberries across Europe.

Rural Serbia maintains nearly 4,600 villages, many facing demographic challenges as young people migrate to cities. The raspberry villages of Zlatibor District fare better than most—agricultural work that provides cash income and can be combined with other employment. By 2026, Brović's trajectory depends on whether the raspberry economy maintains its strength or whether competition from other producers erodes the margins that have sustained these mountain communities.
