%X Sustainable development has been the topic of expert debates since the 1970s and remains relevant until now. The issue is dealt with intensely by a lot of international institutions (e.g. Eurostat, UN, OECD). A common objective is to identify the domains of sets of sustainable development indicators, establish these sets, compile a smaller set of indicators suitable for international comparison and identify the sources of available data. Both the national and regional level of the issue is of extreme importance. This paper presents the outcome of an initial stage of our project. Its aim is to verify the set of sustainable development indicators for Czech regions (NUTS 3) that are used by the Czech Statistical Office. The principal task is to determine the availability and usability of the data for further statistical processing and tackle problems that may arise. The adjusted data set will then be used for further statistical analyses.
