Summary/Abstract: The integration of exogenous and endogenous approaches, the synergy of the public, private and civil sectors, embodied in neo-endogenous development, is the dominant practice of rural development in the European Union. This paper aims to analyze the process of rural development and the potential consequences of its implementation in Montenegro from the perspective of a neo-endogenous approach. Neo-endogenous development is based on territorial identity and culture. It seeks to balance local needs and promote social innovation while securing external human and social resources, skills, and capital. Issues of joint planning and creation of strategies, financial management, and implementation of development projects are of crucial importance for stopping external planning of rural development and encouraging social inclusion in Montenegro. In the paper, we will point out the importance of creating local action groups to recognize and realize common interests and encourage the competitiveness of rural territories. SWOT analysis will give a deeper insight into the perspectives, opportunities and limitations of the implementation of the neo-endogenous model of rural development in Montenegro.
