Sažetak
The European Union funds can make a strong contribution to regional and local development of Croatia, however, how the funds will be achieved and implemented in the area of specific region, county, town or municipality depends on many factors. Also the importance of the European Union funds is growing, because local supporting measures funded by the Croatian Government are reducing, and entering the full European Union membership, most of them will be abolished. From that moment, the grand structural and cohesion European Union funds will be available. Criteria and conditions for obtaining of domestic support are much milder and easier to fulfil, but are less generous financial support. On the other hand, criteria and funding conditions of the European Union funds are difficult to fulfil, but financially much more generous. Therefore, in the context of accession to European Union except meeting of administrative requirements and harmonization of Croatian legislation with the acquis communautaire, it is particularly important to prepare the stakeholders at the regional and local level for using of the currently available funds of European Union and those funds which will be available in the future. Through this paper, using a case study of Pozega-Slavonia County , are showed some of the key challenges with which stakeholder are faced in the preparation of projects at regional and local level, and it is showed how much are stakeholders prepared and skilled to use their own capacities and other available capacities in preparation of project proposals. The paper gives specific guidelines, on how to successfully overcome the current challenges, and how to take as much as possible advantage of the European Union funds, which would certainly contribute to the higher level of regional development and higher competitiveness of our regions in conditions of the membership in European Union.
