Kako bi se podržao uspešan početak realizacije novih projekata, u okviru Programa Interreg VI-A IPA Bugarska - Srbija 2021–2027 organizovane su paralelne obuke za korisnike bespovratnih sredstava iz Bugarske i Srbije, namenjene projektima odobrenim u okviru Poziva za projekte u oblasti usluga od opšteg interesa. Obuke su bile posvećene ključnim pravilima upravljanja projektima, njihovoj realizaciji i izveštavanju.

Potpisivanjem ugovora o dodeli bespovratnih sredstava zvanično je započela realizacija 13 projekata odobrenih u okviru Poziva za projekte u oblasti usluga od opšteg interesa, koji se sprovodi u okviru Teritorijalne strategije Programa Interreg VI-A IPA Bugarska–Srbija 2021–2027. Ukupna vrednost odobrenih sredstava premašuje 8,1 milion evra.

Projekti imaju za cilj unapređenje dostupnosti i kvaliteta usluga od opšteg interesa u prekograničnom regionu kroz zajednička rešenja koja razvijaju i sprovode partneri iz Bugarske i Srbije.

Sometimes a journey begins long before the first turn of the pedals.

With the launch of the Timok–Danube Cycling platform, cycling enthusiasts can now do more than simply plan their routes – they can experience them in advance through a video series available in Bulgarian, Serbian and English.

The video series is part of project BGRS0200069 “Timok–Danube Cycling”, funded with nearly €927,000 under the Interreg VI-A IPA Bulgaria–Serbia 2021–2027 Programme.

Vidin and Knjaževac share similar natural assets and strong tourism potential. Today, the Danube riverfront near Vidin, the rock formations of Belogradchik, the mountain roads around Knjaževac and dozens of other attractions on both sides of the border are connected through a network of cycling routes that reveal the region from a new perspective.

Technical ceramics and wood pellets rarely appear in the same sentence. Yet companies from Mezdra and Bosilegrad are working towards the same goal – improving efficiency, making better use of resources and remaining competitive in an increasingly dynamic economic environment.

Mineral water, nature and clean air have long attracted visitors to Varshets and Sokobanja. But what encourages them to return? And how can the region offer experiences that inspire visitors to stay longer and come back again?

More and more, the answer lies in cultural heritage – local stories, traditions, architecture and natural landmarks that can become part of a shared tourism experience on both sides of the border.

RESPONSE behind the scenes: Training in conditions close to real operations

In May 2026, Montana once again became a meeting point for Bulgarian and Serbian firefighters and rescue professionals taking part in the strategic project RESPONSE. This time, however, much of the training took place outside the classroom – in field conditions designed to closely resemble real operational environments.

Stone by Stone: Heritage without borders

In mid-April 2026, the town of Varshets brought together, for several days, people who would not usually find themselves in the same place discussing the same topics – local authorities, cultural experts, local historians, tourism professionals, representatives of NGOs and businesses. The common theme was cultural heritage, but the conversations quickly moved beyond the usual question of “how to preserve it.” Because today the question is also what comes next.
