Abstract: Spatial retail managment in one country encompasses harmonization of supply and demand on that territory, which should result in optimal spatial distribution of retail network. One of the key element in this process is creation of retail monitoring system in whole territory of the country. For that purpose, it is very important to create such regionalization which will enable adequate statistical monitoring of retail activity on the whole territory. In this article, we used spatial development of retail in Serbia as an example of new concept in spatial optimization of retail network as well as for showing possible way of creation of effective reatail monitoring and management system. After brief analysis of the present Serbian spatial retail organization and several suggestion of regionalization for the purpose of retailing management, we introduce new model of spatial and territorial organization of retail activity using NUTS regionalization as the basis. This model accepts present administrative regionalization, general geographical principles and creation hierarchical nomenclature.

Key words: spatial distribution of retail, regionalization, NUTS regions, monitoring.
