Training course on EU project development aimed at representatives of the provincial administration

In cooperation with the European Affairs Fund of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and Department of Human Resources Management of the Provincial Government, a training course “EU Funds – from Idea to Realization“, aimed at representatives of the provincial administration, was held. The representatives of the European Affairs Fund of AP Vojvodina, Mina Radmilović Pjevac, Tamara Glišić-Krivošija and Tijana Krstić Maravić held a three-day training course at the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina from 25th to 27th April 2017.

The representative of provincial bodies obtained additional information on the novelties within the second cycle of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA II), operating within the ongoing seven-year financial perspective of the European Union from 2014 to 2020. In addition to the IPA, the participants gained information about a number of EU internal programmes funded from the common EU budget, in which Serbia, as a candidate country for EU accession, is eligible for participation. The practical part of the training focused on the development of participants’ skills and attitude, so that they could develop project proposals on their own, think of potential partner organisations, build the project structure by means of the logical framework and develop the project budget, obeying the legislative limits imposed by the European Union. As the result, four project ideas were developed, which are of importance for the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and which can be potentially submitted under some of the EU calls for proposals.
