Abstract

Privatisation and European integration offer new possibilities for regional development in Serbia. In this process it is a factor of crucial importance to determine the goals, serving a long-range, sustainable socio-economic development as well as the formation of a wide –range consensus between the key actors. The article shows the possibilities of application of a multi-actor model for determination of basic strategic objectives and coalitions between key players on example of Northern Vojvodina. The results prove the importance of application of sophisticated decision support systems, based on collective wisdom; highlight the importance of system-based approach in rural development; and prove the role of info-communication sector in upgrading of attractiveness of capital –involvement in rural areas.
