Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to find out how the state and EU subsidies paid in the Czech Republic since 2000 have been translated into the territory. The methodology is based on obtaining a continuous time series of data on subsidies for the smallest possible territorial level and comparing the impacts on territorial cohesion, with particular reference to structurally affected regions on the one hand and the areas of Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) and Integrated Plan for the Development of the Territory (IPRÚ) on the other. The results show that the share of subsidies has increased steadily over the period under review. Per capita funding does not differ much between regions and no significant difference was found between assistance to structurally affected regions and the rest of the territory in the different support themes, which are mainly transport infrastructure, agriculture and education.
