Brussels, 22 December 2025
On Monday, the EU Commission disbursed €114 million to Czechia from the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) to aid the country’s reconstruction efforts following the devastating floods in September 2024.
The EUSF allocation can retroactively finance the costs incurred from day one of the damage, and will be instrumental in restoring essential infrastructure in sectors such as transport, water provision, and wastewater management.
This funding approval comes after the European Parliament and the Council endorsed the Commission’s proposal for EUSF support to several Central and Eastern European countries affected by the same climate-related disaster.
As the EU’s principal mechanism for post-disaster recovery, the EU Solidarity Fund represents a concrete demonstration of European solidarity with Member States and accession countries. Established in 2002, the fund has mobilized over €10 billion in response to 147 natural disasters.
