Abstract: European Union Member States and regions are not identical in terms of their level of development. Moreover, there are differences in the development level even within each country. Disparities among regions and countries are not only historical, but also natural. Unequal developments are obstacles to the integration process, the free movement of capital is impeded, which means reducing the possibility of eliminating existing differences. Therefore, regional policy primarily aims at reducing economic and social disparities among the different regions of Europe, starting from the heterogeneity of components.
