Sažetak
Croatian accession to the European Union opens numerous possibilities for using structural funds designated for project activities that contribute to the balanced development. At the same time these project activities promote the overall competitiveness of the European economy in accordance with the public procurement rules as well as transparency and efficiency principles. This paper both analyzes all the preparation necessary for managing the EU structural funds and emphasizes the importance of establishing an effective system to supervise its use. It also highlights the importance of learning from Hungarian experiences in order to improve the approach to project management based on strategic planning. The European Union ensures its regional development and political objectives by using grants provided by structural and cohesion funds. Hungary therefore has the possibility to use the amount of HUF 8000 billion in order to enhance its regional development. This sum of money has been put at its disposal by the Hungarian state budget and EU funds for the time span between 2007-2013 as a part of the “New Széchenyi Plan”. The allocation of such a huge amount of funds requires thorough preparations and planning based on extensive social partnerships ; in Hungary, the National Development Agency (NDA) is responsible for the related functions. On one hand, this paper examines the tasks of the National Development Agency relating to the implementation of the New Széchenyi Plan, the coordination of the operative programmes planning, monitoring of implementation, calls for tenders and the selection of business cooperatives. On the other hand, it also presents Széchenyi Programme Office which is responsible for the completion of tasks connected with the implementation of the New Széchenyi Plan (including the popularization of the operative programmes, funds and the facilitation of funds spending).
