Sažetak
Ensuring good quality public policy with the purpose of improving working and living conditions in all areas of Croatia, especially in assisted areas, is the mission of the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds. Th e policy of even regional development implies planning, implementation and coordination of activities of regional development policy as well as establish-ment of a comprehensive system of programing, management and fi nancing of regional development. Development of assisted areas is one of the most impor-tant European Union guidelines and for this purpose almost one third of the EU budget is provided for cohesion policy implementation. Th ose funds are available through European structural and investment (ESI) Funds. In the 2014.-2020. budgetary period, Croatia has been allocated almost 10.74 bil-lion euros from ESI Funds for various development projects which will contribute to an even regional development and help achieve a smart, sustainable and eff ective growth. Besides through ESI Funds, an even regional development is also stimulated through national funding and implementation of strategically determined policies, goals, activities and measures. Th e Regional Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia identifi es three strategic goals focused on diminishing regional development diff erences and encouraging sustainable de-velopment, which should be achieved through synergy of actions on national, regional and local level. Th ese goals are: (1) increasing the quality of life by en-couraging sustainable territorial development, (2) increasing regional economy competitiveness and employment rates and (3) systematic management of re-gional development. This paper attempts to defi ne detailed strategic goals and elaborate priorities for several adequate measures.
