The objective of this awareness seminar was not only to familiarize the members of the working groups with IPA CBC, cross-border programmes and the concept of the cross-border projects, but also to introduce them to the possibilities, opportunities and benefits of the implementation of these programmes for their respective regions.

Two presentations were made:

  • Introduction to IPA and IPA Component II, and the participation of the Republic of Serbia in cross-border and transnational cooperation programmes, presented by Ms. Kristina Askovic, Ministry of Finance, Republic of Serbia;
  • Regional project Cross Border Institution Building – CBIB and its activities in the Western Balkan region, cross-border cooperation process and individual steps within this process, and the cross-border cooperation projects presented by Ms. Marija Stevanovic from CBIB central office in Belgrade.

The presentations were followed by questions and answers.

The seminar was considered to be a highly informative and successful event that achieved its objective. All the questions raised were answered. The participants showed great interest in the presented topics and raised many questions regarding the IPA cross-border programmes, project preparation and project implementation. Organization of the seminar, hospitality of the host institutions and clear contents of presentations contributed to raising awareness of the potential applicants in this region
