Summary/Abstract: In the 2014-2020 programming period, more than 392 operational programs (OP) and approx 1.5 million were financed from the cohesion policy (KP) within the EU of projects managed by approximately 500 000 project beneficiaries. The aim of the contribution is the analysis of the use of KP funds in the period 2014-2020 on the territory of Slovakia (SK) and the subsequent identification of the success of drawing funds from selected OPs and relevant thematic goals in the given program period according to the type of territory. To compare the data, methods of data analysis and synthesis were used from the EŠIF Open Data platform and the governing bodies of SK, where there is information on the allocation and use of financial resources in the EU member states in the years 2014-2020 based on more than 350 programs that are financed from the EU fund structures. The highest rate of drawing funds from EU funds within SK was in the OP Integrated Infrastructure (OP II). Depending on the type, the drawdown rate of individual OPs varied, and the possibility of drawdown rates from EU funds reached rural areas in the OP Environmental Quality, compared to large urban areas, where the highest allocation was in the OP II.
