The Moravian-Silesian Region is managing its structural transformation following the cessation of coal mining. Regional representatives have approached the Ministry for Regional Development to advocate for continued, targeted financial support in the next programming period beginning in 2028. Officials seek to avoid a shift toward generalized national support, noting that previous assistance from the Just Transition Fund has facilitated over 600 projects totaling 17.8 billion CZK to address economic decline and population loss.

As part of this transition, the region is utilizing funds from the Just Transition Operational Programme to bolster the local economy and tourism through cultural initiatives. Specifically, the region has allocated over 15 million CZK in film vouchers to support ten audiovisual productions, including feature films, animations, and documentaries. To date, the region has provided a total of 20.1 million CZK in subsidies for ten different film projects.
