Abstract: Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina are suffering great changes and/or vanishing. It came as a result of wrong agricultural and industrial policies in the former state, deteriorating processes caused by the war and transition of the society. Villages are infrastructurally and esthetically neglected, agricultural tradition has been destroyed and life of the few remaining farmers in general is very hard. It is extremely important to make serious plans for sustainable development of villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When making those plans all adventages and disadventages of our countryside must be taken into consideration as well as general situation in wider region and in the world.The position of farmers must be improved by continuous stimulation and modernization of agricultural production. This process will give apperance of order and neatness which will result in improvement of tourism and other activities not directly connected with agriculture. Every step must be planned and made under expert leadership and supervision. It would be a great leap forward for Bosnia and Herzegovina while catching up with the processes of globalization and integrations. In this way villages of Bosnia and Herzegovina would get a new look and function.

Key words: Bosnia and Herzegovina, suistanable development of villages, agricultural production, neat countryside, village tourism.
