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

On 25 March 2008 the European Commission approved a Cross-border Co-operation Programme between Hungary and Serbia for the period 2007-2013, which was 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 Serbian regions that lie along their common border: the Hungarian regions of Csongrád and Bács-Kiskun and Serbian regions Zapadno-Backi, Severno-Backi, Severno-Banatski, Juzno-Backi and Srednje-Banatski. The areas of South Banat and Srem in Serbia may take part in projects as an adjacent area, i.e. receiving a maximum 20% of the funding allocated to the programme.
