Republic of Srpska subsidy system is characterized by a acute fragmentation in quality (47 different items have been financed in the 2000-2007 period) and in quantity terms (the survey has suggested that a large group of recipient gets a rather small share of subsides per capita; several analyst agree that a significant share of subsides is allocated to a negligible group of recipients). In this frame subsidies have a dual role: a short term – social character for a large group of beneficiaries; a long term – development character for a negligible group of beneficiaries. So except for the case of few recipients the subsidy system fails in the promotion of specialization, modernization and competitiveness. To some extent it is possible to recognize a significant fracture between agricultural administration and farmers. A more exhaustive analysis on the effect of subsides and on the characteristics (and needs) of the recipients should be made in order to target agricultural and rural development measures in a more effective way. A rural development strategy could be crucial to encourage the vitality of rural areas Competitiveness, modernization and European integration have to be milestones of the policy goals. However it is essential to define an appropriate and sustainable model of agriculture characterized by an autonomous process of modernization. In the conception of this model it should be essential to identify the farmers and their needs and to define the main characteristic of the agricultural and rural systems of Republic of Srpska.
