Properties of ten new apricot cultivars (three Serbian and seven introduced) were studied in the Belgrade region (Serbia) during the period of 2006-2009. Hungarian Best was the control cultivar. The average blooming time of investigated cultivars was the third decade of March. Considering the time of maturing, two groups of cultivars could be distinguished: mid-season (Vera, Biljana, Moldavski Olimpic, Mamaia, Cegledi Arany and Vivagold) and late cultivars (NS-4, Vynoslivyi, Callatis and Comandor). The productivity of studied cultivars was higher in comparison with the control cultivar, with the exception of cultivars Comandor and Vera. The fruit weight ranged from 25.3 g (Vivagold) to 63.3 g (NS-4). The contents of soluble solids and total acids ranged from 13.65 to 17.90% and 0.97-1.60%, respectively. The best organoleptic properties were shown by the cultivar NS-4, which distinguish itself for a large fruit and attractive appearance, but also good fruit quality. On the basis of obtained results the following cultivars can be recommended for growing: NS-4 and Mamaia for fresh consumption, Vivagold and Vynoslivyi for processing, and Vera, Biljana and Cegledi Arany for both purposes.
