Sazetak:

After short historical overview we describe the difficulties with application 
of standard QFT methods in quantum gravity (QG). The incompatibility of QG with 
the use of classical continuous space-time required conceptually new approach. 
We present briefly three proposals: loop quantum gravity (LQG), the 
field-theoretic framework on noncommutative space-time and QG models formulated 
on discretized (triangularized) space-time. We evaluate these models as 
realizing expected important properties of QG: background independence, 
consistent quantum diffeomorphisms, noncommutative or discrete structure of 
space-time at very short distances, finite/renormalizable QG corrections. We 
only briefly outline an important issue of embedding QG into larger geometric 
and dynamical frameworks (e.g. supergravity, (super)strings, p-branes, 
M-theory), with the aim to achieve full unification of all fundamental 
interactions.
