Abstract

The work includes the analysis of different opinions and views on rural development and rural economy, both at the general level, and the level of Serbia. The first part of the paper, which analyzes the rural development at the community level, refers to the neglect of rural areas, and emphasizes the importance of the formation of local action groups (LAGs). Also mentioned are two conditions that Serbia needs to fulfill in order to improve the situation in the economy and society, which has a direct impact on rural community development. The second part of the paper highlights the importance of diversification of the rural economy of local communities in Serbia with respect to the diversity of local communities. Analysis of the structure of employment of rural labor force by sectors in Serbia (October 2013) indicates that only agriculture employs 21.8% of the population.
