institutes and international institutions involved in the PA management.
For the purpose of data processing, descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine the differences between all MAs, while the Mann-Whitney U test determined the differences between specific MAs (Pallant 2011, Đorđević 2018).
RESULTS
REZULTATI
In the first phase of research, the mechanisms of the PA management system financing were observed through the average number of financing sources and the average amount of financing (EUR∙ha–1). Observing the average number of financing sources of PAs within MAs, statistically significant differences were found using the Kruskal-Wallis test (χ2=30.53, df=5, p=0.00). In order to determine between which MAs this difference occurs, the Mann-Whitney U test was used (Annex 2).
 
Table 1 shows the differences between the MAs. The average number of financing sources for PENP (5) significantly differs from PES (2). The difference was also determined between PES (2) and PEV (6), OPE (3), OPS (3) and PrS (3). Additionally, statistical differences were observed between PEV (6) and OPE, OPS, PrS, which had the same average number of financing sources (3).
As shown in Table 2, the highest average amounts of financing are from the own revenues of PA managers and the lowest from the NGO sector, environmental protection fund and forest directorate. Regarding the own revenues, OPS have the highest (1.714 EUR∙ha–1) and OPE the lowest (76 EUR∙ha–1) level of financing. Observing the average amount of financing per ha, significant differences were found using the Kruskal-Wallis test between MAs in terms of financing amounts (Annex 3). Statistically significant differences were found for the amounts of financing for the local community, NGOs, international institutions, environmental protection fund, forest directorate, responsible PA and forest secretariat The obtained results shows the differences, according to the Mann-Whitney U test (Annex 4)  conducted, between different MAs in the amount of financial support obtained from:
– the ministry responsible for PAs and NGOs - there are no significant differences in the amounts of financing;
– the local community –  OPEs (426 EUR∙ha–1) record significantly higher support than other MAs;
– international institutions – PES (0) does not record any support, unlike other MAs;
– the environmental protection fund – PENP (6 EUR∙ha–1) and PEV (3 EUR∙ha–1) record significantly higher support than PES which does not record any support;
– the ministry responsible for forestry – PENP (17 EUR∙ha–1) record significantly higher support than other MAs;
– the secretariat responsible for PAs –  PES (0 EUR∙ha–1) and OPS (5 EUR∙ha–1) record the lowest support compared to other MAs;
– the secretariat responsible for forestry – PEV (6 EUR∙ha–1) records financial support, unlike other MAs.
Based on the results of the first phase of the research, the elements of the PA management system improvement are proposed with regard to the mechanisms of financing.
