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.
