The Joint Secretariat of the Interreg VI-A IPA Bulgaria–Serbia Programme 2021–2027 will organize information days for applicants under the call for project proposals for the development and provision of services of general interest within the framework of the Programme’s Territorial Strategy.

The call aims to address territorial and socio-economic disparities regarding the scope, accessibility, and quality of services of general interest.

"What is especially valuable is that we are working not just as institutions, but as a team of people with trust, respect, and a shared vision for the future of our region. This human connection is what makes the program so dynamic and meaningful."

In response to received alerts and inquiries, the Managing Authority of the Interreg VI-A Bulgaria–Serbia Programme 2021–2027 reminds all interested parties of the Call for Direct Support for SMEs that the eligible project preparation costs reimbursable under the Programme amount to EUR 12,000.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to carefully familiarize themselves with the Programme conditions.

In case of questions, please get in touch with the Programme team through the official communication channels.
