Memo: Hungary-Croatia IPA Cross-border Co-operation Programme 2007-2013

On 13 March 2008 the European Commission approved a Cross-border Co-operation Programme between Hungary and Croatia for the period 2007-2013, which is adopted under and co-financed by the cross-border co-operation component of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). The programme involves Community support for specific Hungarian and Croatian regions that lie along their common border: the Hungarian regions of Zala, Somogy and Baranya and Croatian regions Menjimurska, Koprivničko-Križevačka, Virovitičko-Podravska and Osječko-Baranjska. The Croatian areas of Varaždinska, Bjelovarsko-bilogorska, Požesko-slavonska and Vukovarsko-srijemska may take part in projects as an adjacent area, i.e. receiving a maximum 20% of the funding allocated to the programme.
