This dissertation is focused on the utilization of resources from the EU structural funds and from the EAFRD fund on the example of the Jemnice microregion. The presented elaboration deals about the points at issues like obtainment and utilization of financial resources from the structural funds and from the EAFRD fund in the JM. Regarding the mentioned examples of realized or planned projects, the importance of financial subventions from the structural EU funds and the EAFRD fund is apparently contributing to the successful development of the Jemnice microregion. In spite of the fact that, in comparison with the whole Czech Republic, during the programming period 2007 {--} 2013 the lower allotment from the EU structural funds managed to be drawn from per capita, a great deal of projects could not be realized without the financial EU support in the Jemnice microregion at all.
