The position that the Jews filled in the trade of the Balkan Peninsula to a great degree was due to the manner of organizing their trade. The Jewish merchants had completely arranged organization of trade. With their widespread branches, this organization was a trade network where the major merchants that lived in all the larger trade centers on the Balkan Peninsula were the main knot. The major merchants were a type of regulators of the entire trade, i. e. the exchange of the import and export goods was performed by them. The Jews traded with a large amount of different goods at the internal and external market. In order to successfully perform the trade activity, they had to know the consumer’s needs both of the external and the internal market. That was a close connection with the manufacturers of goods on one hand and an active stimulation of the production on the market on the other hand.
