EU Funds

Union Programs are a set of activities implemented for a certain period of time to encourage unity between EU member states and candidate countries in a way to cover certain areas related to Union policies.

Citizens, businesses, non-governmental organizations and public institutions have the opportunity to participate in the Union Programs. Union Programs also make important contributions to the work of candidate countries in the field of harmonization and implementation of the legislation.

Union Programs enter into force with the approval of the European Parliament and the European Council and are carried out by the relevant Commission General Directorate, which publishes the calls for proposals (tenders) for the program. The budgets of the programs are formed by the payments made by the participating countries and the allocation from the EU budget.

Applications for most of the programs are sent directly to the European Commission and evaluation is carried out by independent experts. For some decentralized programs, applications and evaluations are made through national agencies in the participating country.

Since the main purpose of the Union Programs is the development of cooperation, it is essential that there are partners from different countries in the majority of applications. Most of the financial support provided from the program budget is given to projects that do not involve investments (such as cultural activities, personnel exchange, research projects, knowledge sharing projects).
