The role of self-employment and craftsmanship is very significant for the municipal economy which takes part in overall development. Practically, craftsmanship can be classified as branch of economy which belongs to the tertiary industry, in the sphere of services – personal services, household services and industrial services. Trade has been developing so far without significant stimulation by authorities which could improve its development, so that this branch of economy is not developed as a secondary industry, which results in unbalanced development of certain crafts, like opticians, watchmakers, and shoemakers, which have been scarce in the municipality for a long time. Investing in this industry is insufficient, there is a lack of skilled workers and funds for crediting craftsmanship, given by banks, are burdened with high interest rates.
