Sažetak
The “smart village” concept is relatively new among EU decision- and policy-makers ; it is a result of many-makers ; it is a result of many years of debate, economic and territorial inequalities, social exclusion, diversification of certain areas, gra-dual reduction of agricultural activities and the interaction of cohesion, regional, and common agricultural policy. The concept of smart villages implies saving villages and their inhabitants, protecting cultural heritage and using local potentials to meet modern challenges. In its initial stages, it requires activities of all stakehol-ders, from individuals living in the rural area in question to decision- makers participating in identifying the strengths, threats, opportunities, and weaknesses of a certain rural area. Apart from the theoretical definition of smart villages, this paper aims to analyse European regulations of smart villages, and to define the challen-ges and smart village traps in rural development and ways in which they can be prevented.
