History
Developed in the mid-1960s from the UTVA-60 series, the Privrednik was intended to serve Yugoslav agriculture, light transport, and aero club needs. UTVA produced it in modest quantities for domestic use.
Variants
The Privrednik was available in landplane and seaplane configurations; the UTVA-65 designation covered the improved variant of the earlier UTVA-60 agricultural series.
Where you'll see it
Used by Yugoslav aero clubs, agricultural operators, and paramilitary aviation units; the type remained a domestic Yugoslav product with very limited export.
