Abstract: Everything in the world is compound from small pieces; I am starting with this sentence because if our country wants to join the European Union, our leaders should start by solving small problems in our country. This study explores the differences of doing business in Mitrovica city, Republic of Kosova. Mitrovica is a small city which is located in the north part of the Republic of Kosovo and it is a divided city where in the north part of the city lives the Serbians and in the south part of the city lives Albanians. It is very important to study more deeply this issue because the situation of Mitrovica is unique in Europe and also there are no other studies about this issue. The methodology of research is compound by qualitative and quantitative data. This study is an exploratory research that starts from small parts to explain a new problem. To accomplish the research objectives, the study was divided in four parts: first, the theoretical part, second part is a research in Mitrovica that contains primary data (a survey through a questionnaire in 40 SME-s, 20 SME-s in the south part of the city and 20 SME-s in the north part of the city) and secondary data (data from institutions of the RKS, World Bank), third part explains the repercussions from the security approach and finally some concluding remarks and recommendations. From the results obtained from research we argue that the differences on doing business between two parts of the city exist and the economy of the city is facing with informal economy. All these differences found and the informal economy has a negative impact in the economic development of our country.
