Summary/Abstract: Multifunctional and sustainable development of rural areas constitutes one of the most important elements of rural policy which, unlike agricultural policy, is quite complicated and complex and requires co-ordination of individual ministerial policies that have a share in rural development. Due to the process of disagrarisation of rural areas the direction of their multifunctional development was, is and will always be topical. The extremely important direction of sustainable development promoted in recent years imposes necessary discipline on the frequently overly spontaneous course of development processes in rural areas. In the process of stimulation of non-agricultural and social-economic activity in rural areas a significant role will be played by the development of rural entrepreneurship resulting in the creation of new jobs so greatly needed in the countryside. Differences in the conditions of development of business activity in rural and urban areas call for efforts to learn more about the specific character of non-agricultural activity in the countryside and to apply different development stimuli suited to this character.
