Izziv za raziskovanje predstavlja analiza, koliko denarnih sredstev Latvija in Slovenija prispevata v proračun EU ter koliko se v izbrani državi vrne preko evropskih skladov. Namen analize v magistrskem delu je analizirati področja, ki jih ti dve državi prednostno obravnavata in njuno učinkovitost pri doseganju zastavljenih ciljev v finančni perspektivi 2014 - 2020. Opisovanje dejstev in pojmov ter njihovo preučevanje na podlagi tuje in domače strokovne literature temelji na metodi deskripcije. Zbiranje številčnih podatkov in statističnih analiz je izvedeno s kvantitativno metodo. Z metodo komparacije je bila izvedena primerjava med državama, z metodo kompilacije pa je bila izvedena potrditev oziroma zavrnitev hipotez. Z analizo je bilo ugotovljeno, da prebivalec Latvije prejme več sredstev iz skladov EU kot prebivalec Slovenije, kljub temu, da prebivalec Slovenije prispeva v proračun EU več kot prebivalec Latvije. Prejeta sredstva kohezijskega sklada na prebivalca so odvisna od BDP na prebivalca in tako vplivajo na razvitost države. Latvija iz kohezijskega sklada prejme več sredstev kot Slovenija, ima pa nižji BDP na prebivalca kot Slovenija. Slovenija uspešneje črpa sredstva Evropskega socialnega sklada in sredstva za področje razvoja in inovacij. Analiza pripomore k temu, da bo pri naslednji finančni perspektivi omogočena večja učinkovitost pri pridobivanju in koriščenju sredstev EU. Analiza je pokazatelj uspešnosti držav pri črpanju sredstev, ugotavlja pa tudi kazalnike porabljenih sredstev. Z uspešnim črpanjem sredstev iz evropskih skladov je mogoč razvoj in rast v državi, predvsem na področju gospodarskega, ekonomskega in socialnega stanja. ; A challenge for the research is mainly to analyse how much money do Latvia and Slovenia contribute to the European Union's budget and how much money do they recompensate from the European funds. The purpose of the analysis is to find out which areas do the two countries treat with the highest priority and also to find out how effective they are in achieving the set goals of the 2014 – 2020 financial perspective. Description of facts and concepts, as well as their study on the basis of foreign and domestic scientific literature, was based on the method of description. Collection of numerical data and statistical analyses were carried out using the quantitative method. The comparison method was used to conduct a comparison between the countries, whereas the compilation method was used to confirm or reject the hypotheses. The analysis showed that a resident of Latvia receives more financial means from the EU funds than a resident of Slovenia. Furthermore, the latter also contributes more to the EU budget than the resident of Latvia. Cohesion fund's received financial means per capita depend on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and thus affect the country's development. Latvia receives more such means and also has lower GDP per capita than Slovenia. However, Slovenia is more efficient at using the resources of the European Social Fund and Funds for research and innovation. The analysis that was carried out aids in the improvement of next financial perspective to be more efficient in gaining and using the EU funds. It is also an indicator of how successful both countries are when it comes to using EU funds and what are the indicators of the funds used. The successful absorption of European funds enables the development and growth of the country, especially in the economic and social perspective.
