In the municipality of Para in, the democratic option has won the elections, which is seen in the number of the municipal assembly members who are members of the parties inclined to democracy. Ruling coalition consists of the following parties: DS, SPO, G17 i SPS. A small number of municipal assembly members are the members of parties outside that coalition with the ruling party, that is DS. 2.4 History, tradition and cultural heritage The area of the municipality of Paracin is placed in the fertile valley of the river Velika Morava, offering, since prehistory to thesedays, very favourable living conditions. Various cultures that existed in this area has left their traces. Up-to-date archeological research on prehistoric localities Drenovac, Glavica, Glozdak, Striža as in many others, testify to people living in this area since VI millenijum BC till the arrival of the Romans. Moravian-Vardarian road, as one of the traffic artery of ancient Balkans, had a special merit in intensive cultural development. Probably in I century, the Romans, in their conquering attack on the Balkan Peninsula, in the period of transition from an old to the new era, occupy Pomoravlje region as well. Settlement called Sarmates, station on the Military Road, had been used for changing horses and for rest owing to geographic positioning, because along with the fact that it was the place of significant natural crossroads there was also the river Crnica as one of the most important factors for later establishing of bigger settlement. As a bigger trading centre, Sarmates had been mentioned for the last time by a Byzantin historian Prokopije in VI century. Prvi put naselje Para in had been mentioned for the first time in the Charter of Duke Lazar composed in XIV century, most probably in 1375. Square called»para in`s boat«was assumed to have been given the name after the boat-crossing across the water, presumably the river Crnica. Evlija elebija who travelled through Serbia in 1661 left the most detailed facts about Para in from that time. He describes Para in as a»strong small fortress on the river Crnica«. During the rule of Austria-Hungary in Serbia in 1717, Paracin was the seat of Resavian district. In the surroundings of Para in, the commander of the Turkish army - Hafiz- Pasha was deadly wounded. In the period between two wars Para in was, as before, an important craftsmanship and trading centre in Serbia. After the end of the national liberation War in socialistic Yugoslavia, Para in has for the first time in its turbulent history used its favourable geographic position and environmental opportunities for various economic development. The economy of the municipality is based on industry whose most important representatives are Serbian Glass factory, Cement factory in Novi Popovac and textile factory IVTKT Branko Krsmanovi.

The municipality of Paracin makes one fifth of the total land of the district which comprises 6 municipalities, with the difference that we have a slightly more land under forests. 4. Human resources 4.1 Population statistics (number of inhabitants and population growth) Table 8. Comparative population statistics, census data 1948 1953 1961 1971 1981 1991 2002 Number of population in the municipality 50853 54420 59957 63097 64718 64119 58316 Change of population number / 3567 5537 3140 1621-599 - 5803 Population growth in the municipality (%) / 7,014 10,175 5,237 2,569-0,926-9,050 Population growth in the district (%) / 6,708 5,825 2,960 3,213-2,354-1,768 Population growth in Serbia (%) / 6,342 8,372 7,856 7,307 1,210 0,899 70000 60000 50000 40000 30000 20000 10000 0 Godine 1948 1951 1961 1971 1981 1991 2002 17

It can be explained by the inflow of refugees in one period when the war on the territory of former Yugoslavia broke out, and a great number of refugees escaped to Serbia. Along with the calming of the situation, it has come to the decrease in number of population due to the fact that a number of regugees have returned to thei homes while some went abroad. This trend of decrease of the population has been continued. 4.2 Population by type of neighborhood Table 10. Structure of population by type of neighborhood, 2002 District Serbia Number Share (%) Number Share (%) Number Share (%) Urban population 25292 43,88 97589 42,91 4.225.856 56,36 Other population 32341 56.12 129846 57,09 3.272.105 43,64 Total population 57633 100 227435 100 7.497.961 100 The greatest part of the population in the municipality of Para in consists of the population in villages. The same thing happens with the population in the district, while on the republic level there is a great number of population in urban areas of Serbia, the highest percentage belongs to the biggest cities in Serbia: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš. 4.3 Population events Table 11. Population events, 2006 District Serbia Newborn 554 1982 70997 Newborn per 1000 of population 9,7 8,9 9,6 Deceased 854 3608 102884 Deceased per 1000 of population 14,9 16,3 13,9 Birth rate -300-1626 -31887 Birth rate per 1000 of population -5,2-7,3-4,3 18

Birth rate in the municipality of Para in is negative because the number of newborn population is 1,5 times less than the number of deceased. Our municipality differs from the district and republic where the birth rate has also been negative but for several decades backwards in Serbia, which is so called '' white plague ''. Table 12.

There are double less women that gave birth to only one child, and the upsetting fact is that the same number of women havenever given birth. It is no wonder that we have a negative birth rate in the municipality Pracin, the district and on republic level as well. 4.4 Population by marital status Table 13. Structure of population above 15 by marital status and age, 2002 Share in total population of the municipality (%) Total 49162 100 Single 10228 20,8 19

Married 31036 63,13 Divorced 1801 3,66 Widows / widowers 5886 11,97 Unknown 221 0,45 Birth rate is negative because considering the total number of the population above 15, you can find that there is a great number of single persons. It is not insignificant number of the divorced, widows and those who have never given birth. 4.5 Major age groups Table 14.

8.2 Utility infrastructure 8.2.1 Water and sewage Underground water reserves represent a significant potential of the municipality. Organized drinking water supply of the town of Para in and a smll number of settlement of the municipality is made by captivating water from the karst well Sveta Petka and by means of exploatation of underground aqua pipes in a wider zone of the town in the valley of the river Velika Morava. Other settlements have systems of local, village waterlines or water is provided individually from their own wells. Water network covers 65% of population`s needs on the territory of the municipality, sewage system covers 95 % of the town area. 8.2.2 Power infrastructure Power network ED Electrodistribution Para in supplies from two directions, from the directions of Kruševac and Jagodina. There are 3 TS capacities 110/10 kv; 5 TS 35/10 kv; over 300 TS 10/0,4 K. Reliability of supplying with electric power of Para in`s demand will be insufficient till the construction of transformer substation of 400/110 kv in Majur, that is of importance for the region. After thatthere is requirement to powering Paracin with electric power with at least one power delivery line of 110 kv. In case bigger industrial zones were built, it is necessary to plan construction of bigger capacity delivery lines - TS 110/10(20)kV with the accompanying TS 10/0,4 kv. Other residential-business complexes can be supplied with the addition or extension of existing capcities in TS 110/10 or 35/10; construction of new 10 kv conduit; needed number of TS 10/0,4 kv and a low-voltage power supplying. 8.2.3 Tele-communication systems The municipality has been covered with the network of stable and mobile telephone lines.
