Sažetak
Evaluation of the EU cohesion policy provides valuable evidences that can be used to improve the implementation of the policy in the next programming periods. There are different studies and evaluation reports which confirm the benefits of the EU cohesion policy, but the effects are not always positive and equally spread across countries, regions, urban areas. This is confirmed when analysing data on regional disparities, while there are also more complex researches that give various conclusions on the effects of the EU cohesion policy. The main aim of the paper is to present an overview of the discussions about the benefits of the EU cohesion policy as well as to highlight the constraints in its implementation. The main characteristics of the EU cohesion policy will be briefly presented, followed by the chosen evaluation results. The EU cohesion policy must also anticipate and react in different crisis situations. Separate part of the paper provides an overview on the role of the EU cohesion policy in responding to current Covid-19 crisis. Approaches, new instruments and synthesis of the results will be presented to derive conclusions about the opportunities that EU member states (can) use to mitigate the effects of the crisis. The paper confirms the importance of EU cohesion policy in recent and previous crisis, but also gives guidelines that should be observed in more detailed in order to achieve effective responses. Long-term goals of the EU cohesion policy should not be ignored in the responses to Covid-19 crisis, the absorption of funds should be fast, but directed on key needs, which will produce the greatest impacts on results/development and that will not increase disparities.
