Abstract

The article examines the activities and prob­lems of the municipal administrations regarding the absorption of EU funds. A study based on covering forty municipalities of different sizes, identifies priorities and challenges in the develop­ment and management of their projects financed by operational programs. In addition, studied are the investment intentions of local governments to attract grants in the second programming period 2014-2020 ã. Analyzed are the measures that will lead to improving the absorption of EU funds. Finally, conclusions are drawn and recommen­dations are made to municipal administrations (mostly for their proactive, entrepreneurial behav­ior), as well as to the institutions administering programs financed by the EU.
