The greater part of the agricultural land is private
property and is highly divided.
A comparative survey shows that the number of arable
lots that are not tilled increase year by year. This mainly
due to the lack of financial resources, the lack of
mechanical means, the low selling price of agricultural
products as compared to the production costs, the
ageing labour force, and particularly because of the
competition of the similar imported products.
I.3.3.3. Trade
After 1990, trade activities showed an upward trend,
due to the mutations that took place in the labour force
from the trade and services field. The accelerated
rhythm of privatisation resulted in the growth of the
private sector.

wars and a communist regime, has retained the spirit
of past centuries.

is the nucleus of a very attractive option for winter
sports.

which have been declared historical monuments and
38 streets and public places of historical interest. In
