National level

The National Coordination Authority developed the document "Starting points for the position of the Czech Republic in the direction of the cohesion policy after 2027" , which was approved by the government of the Czech Republic in July 2024. This document will be followed by material defining the "Strategic framework of the cohesion policy after 2027 ". The individual steps are aimed at promoting the key priorities of the Czech Republic and ensuring effective financing from European Union funds for the next program period.

How is the negotiation coordinated?
The Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic is responsible for negotiating the multi-year financial framework. The Ministry for Regional Development, specifically the National Authority for Coordination, focuses on debates on the thematic and legislative setting of cohesion policy. In the fall of 2023, PS launched the Cohesion 2028 expert platform, which focuses on the preparation of the legislative framework. The discussion on priority areas of support and effective use of funds will take place in parallel, among other things, with the involvement of national economic experts.

*The information is based on data on the outputs of the implementation of the cohesion policy in the previous and current program periods. You can find more information at DotaceEU - Evaluation Library .
