The level of knowledge and awareness of farmers is crucial for the growth of their competitiveness. This is the reason why the role and importance of farm advisory service, as a link connecting research and institutional sectors with farmers, has been underlined in the European agriculture system. The importance of advisory activities in contemporary circumstances has determined the research subject of this paper. The farm advisory service of the European Union has been analyzed using the historic, descriptive methods, as well as analysis and synthesis methods. The object of the research is to determine how privatization and commercialization influence the quality of advisory services by analyzing farm advisory services and their funding methods. Based on observed advantages and constraints of certain funding models, the paper has given guidelines for organization of the farm advisory service in the Republic of Serbia. Sažetak: Koncept savremene i intenzivne poljoprivredne proizvodnje unapređenje konkurentnosti poljoprivrednih gazdinstava nameće kao jedan od imperativa. Stepen znanja i informisanosti poljoprivrednika jedan je od faktora koji ima presudan uticaj na rast njihove konkurentosti. Upravo zbog toga se u sistemu evropske poljoprivrede naglašava uloga i značaj poljoprivredne savetodavne službe, kao karike koja povezuje istraživački i institucionalni sektor sa poljoprivrednim proizvođačima. Značaj savetodavnog rada u savremenim uslovima opredelio je predmet istraživanja u ovom radu. Primenom istorijskog, deskriptivnog, kao i metoda analize i sinteze, analizirana je poljoprivredna savetodavna služba Evropske unije. Cilj istraživanja je da se analizom poljoprivrednog savetodavstva i načina njenog finansiranja utvrdi na koji način privatizacija i komercijalizacija utiču na kvalitet savetodavnih usluga. Na osnovu uočenih prednosti i ograničenja pojedinih modela finansiranja, u radu su date smernice za organizaciju poljoprivredne savetodavne službe u Republici Srbiji.
