Cohesion policy has long played a vital role in the development of the Czech Republic and the entire European Union.

Cohesion policy is one of the key tools for the sustainable development of regions and is an important public investment tool that supports the functioning of the single market and increasing competitiveness at the European level. It is therefore necessary that it be preserved also within the new multiannual financial framework.

For the Czech Republic, it is a priority to maintain support for its entire territory, set simple and stable rules and strategically target resources with regard to the specific needs of citizens in the regions.
Intensive negotiations are currently taking place at the level of the Czech Republic and the European Union, during which the basic principles for the future direction of cohesion policy are being formed.

The actual negotiation of legislation and the substantive focus of EU funds in the Czech Republic will then be a follow-up step.
Step by step to 2028+
The following key milestones await us as we prepare for the new program period:
