Abstract

The new financial perspective covering the period 2014-2020 has brought many changes. The main priority of the new rural development policy is to improve the competitiveness of farms, having regard to environmental objectives. Rural Development Programme for years 2014-2020 will encourage further restructuring and modernization of farms and development of agri-food processing as well as strengthening their competitiveness in EU and global food market. Development of farms will also be supported by seven sub-measures of current Rural Development Programme. The most important needs of rural areas have been established using the popular SWOT analysis. Implementation of these needs is to induce specific criteria for the access to the various forms of financial assistance as provided for in the Program. Author of this article takes the view that they have been aptly chosen and should result in effective implementation of the objectives of the current Rural Development Programme.
