Rozaje, has grown from the town, as it was after the Second World War, with 1, 464 inhabitants, to the town that now has about 10, 000 inhabitants. The main natural and economic potentials are the forest, as a solid raw material base for the development of timber industry, large pastures and meadows, as the basis for extensive cattle breeding and very large natural resources for the development of mountain tourism.
