Summary/Abstract: The primary objective of the available EU financial resources is to reduce territorial disparities and inequalities. The study analyses EU cofunded municipal tenders at national level that have an impact on the communities of settlements and the community building factors. The authors present the spatial distribution of the awarded tenders according to the calls for proposals, then they analyse the correlations between the funding and the municipal variables, and finally they outline the impact of tenders on the development of the settlement/community and suggest problemsolving solutions. The results show that in the future, local governments will not only act as a delegated public organisation in rural municipalities but will also be essential for promoting development and creating active communities.
