More than 50% of the inhabitants of Serbia live in villages. For many years constant migration from the villages to towns leaves indelible effects on the remaining population in the villages. In recent years there has been developed a strong movement for rural sustainable development through sustainable tourism in ethno villages representing the traditional Serbian life style.
