Abstract: Rural development is very important for overall development of the European Union, therefore 1/3 of EU funds are focused on development of lagging behind regions, which are predominately rural areas. In Croatia in 2013, stakeholders in rural areas can apply for 687.5 million euros, which is much higher amount, than at the pre-accession period funds. This paper presents the research conducted during 2012 in Eastern Croatia, with survey technique, on sample of 100 potential users of rural development funds (IPARD). Research covered the period from 2010 to 2012, with aim to evaluate potential and concrete results in use of funds. The methods of synthesis and analysis, so as deductive and inductive methods were applied. The results show that 37.63% of IPARD fund was used. Consequently, there is significant space for reaching the higher level of rural development based on EU funds. This is the main base for further research in this direction.
