Depopulation in Malo Središte, Serbia

Overview

The village of Malo Središte in Serbia is experiencing a demographic crisis characterized by a dwindling population. Local officials report that the settlement, which has historical significance due to the 15th-century Središte Monastery, is currently home to approximately 60 residents, including only three individuals under the age of 18.

The crisis is compounded by a lack of essential infrastructure; the village lacks a local shop, and access to medical professionals and postal services is limited to once per week. While the area sees temporary weekend visitors due to the monastery, long-term stability is threatened despite a rise in local real estate prices.
