The theme of this diploma thesis is analysis of projects financed from EU funds. European funds are a way in which European Union is trying to create equality among its member counties, be it from political, economic or legal perspective. This is achieved by funding the development and implementation of projects and/or programs that are in line with the policy of the European Union and who strive for equality and a better life within the member states. This diploma thesis shows statistics of approved projects and grants intended for all members of the European Union in the period from 2007. to 2015. Data was taken from a database that is available on the Web site of the European Commission. Available data includes information on approved projects and grants for the individual member in a given year. Also, we can see for each project from which department within the European Commission it comes from. Using these data, we can see how the policy of the European Union changed and what areas were important in a given period. Also, the paper compares Croatia as the youngest member and Bulgaria as second youngest member from a view of obtaining finances from EU funds. The paper shows detailed data for the whole Croatia throughout the country during the period from 2008. to 2016. The comparison between regions is shown to see which Croatian territory has greater focus for the countries advance.
