Description An unsatisfactory environmental situation is one of the reasons of unsteady regional development and emergence of regional disparities in the Czech Republic. The article is aimed at the regional disparities in the use of the financial resources from the Operational Program Environment in the Czech Republic in the programing period 2007 – 2013. The analysis is based on the dependence between the data from Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic that are published during the implementation of the Operational Program Environment and the regional statistical data from the Czech Statistical Office focused on environmental issues. Results show that the allocation of the financial resources from the Structural Funds is distributed quite unevenly along the individual regions NUTS 3 in the Czech Republic. Moreover, some regions NUTS 3 show funding disproportional with the state of their environment. Consequently, differentiation between regions might deepen in the future.
