Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se kapacitetom povlačenja sredstava iz strukturnih fondova
Europske Unije, njenom Kohezijskom politikom te analizom uspješnosti Hrvatske i
Slovenije na području apsorpcije EU sredstava. U ovom kontekstu, apsorpcijski
kapacitet se najlakše definira kao sposobnost upijanja financijskih sredstava koja
nekoj zemlji stoji na dispoziciji. Kohezijska politika, kao glavna investicijska politika
EU, za cilj ima smanjivanje gospodarskih, socijalnih i teritorijalnih razlika između
zemalja članica EU te se kreće u ostvarivanju svoja tri glavna cilja – konvergentnost,
konkurentnost i zapošljavanje i europska teritorijalna suradnja. Kao krucijalni
problem hrvatske djelomične uspješnosti prilikom povlačanje financijskih sredstava
EU može se navesti nedostatak administrativnih kapaciteta, kompleksan sustav
upravljanja i kontrole, birokratske prepreke, limitiran broj projekata spremnih za
implementaciju, nedovršene strukturne reforme i sl. Slovenija se, u ovom slučaju,
pokazala uspješnijom od Hrvatske te se, prema podacima iz 2015. popela na četvrto
mjesto po uspješnosti apsorpcije mežu državama članicama EU.

Abstract (english)

This thesis deals with absorption capacity from the structural funds of the European
Union, its cohesion policy and the analysis of the success of Croatia and Slovenia in
the field of absorption of EU funds. In this context, the absorption capacity is most
easily defined as the ability to absorb financial resources that a country has on the
disposition. Cohesion policy, as a major EU investment policy, aimed at reducing the
economic, social and territorial differences between EU member states and is moving
in a way to conquer of its three main objectives - convergence, competitiveness and
employment and European territorial cooperation. As the crucial problem of the
Croatian partial success during absorption of EU funding can be given a lack of
administrative capacity, complex management and control system, bureaucratic
obstacles, a limited number of projects ready for implementation, the unfinished
structural reforms etc. Slovenia is, in this case, proved to be more successful than
Croatia and, according to data from 2015, moved up to fourth best place among EU
member states.
