EU Assistance and Programme Management
EU pre-accession funds are a sound investment into the future of both the enlargement countries and the EU itself. They help the beneficiaries make political and economic reforms, preparing them for the rights and obligations that come with EU membership. Those reforms simultaneously provide their citizens with better opportunities and allow for development of standards equal to the ones enjoyed by citizens of the EU.
Within this area, our expertise is strong in the following segments:
- Coordination, cooperation and communication between EC and beneficiary countries in the Western Balkans across four key sectors - energy, environment, transport and socio-economic issues, contributing to the overall socio-economic development of the beneficiary countries;
- Four year support for the implementation of the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) www.wbif.eu through the work of the IFI Coordination Office (IFI CO);
- Supporting the relevant BiH State and local institutions and organisations in order to successfully participate in projects related to EU programmes ; and
- Promoting and enhancing cross-border cooperation and socio-economic integration of border regions.
