The paper gives review of the present situation, capacities and prospects of poultry production in Republic of Serbia. It was concluded that poultry production in the period 1990-2000 was mainly in stagnation. From maximum production of meat of 13,2 kg per capita in 1989, it dropped to under 6 kg in 1994, and production of eggs, from 230 eggs per capita in 1989 to 109 eggs in 1995. Also, reasons are stated for such poor condition, introduction of economic sanctions, transition processes and decline in the standard of living of the population. Beginning of the recovery of poultry production starts in 2000, when conditions and situation in Serbia changed: the ownership transformation of companies was carried out, sanctions were lifted and inflow of foreign credits to our country began. Recovery is very slow and predictions are that this branch of economy will be fully recovered and revitalized in 2020, when it will be sufficiently efficient to be competitive on markets of EU developed countries. Expectations are realistic provided that objective and subjective difficulties are overcome, because natural resources for development of poultry breeding exist, to provide enough products for domestic population, but also for export and especially of products deriving from alternative production systems.
