    Chart 4 explanation: Out of 110 applications 48 have ap-plied for Measure 1.1. Economic development, 38 for Meas-ure 1.3. People-to-people and 24 for Measure 1.2. Environ-mental protection. As can be seen in Chart 4 above the dis-tribution of requested amount of actions when expressed inpercentage has a different order than when expressed in

    number of projects while Measure 1.1. Economic develop-ment remains on place 1 with 57% of total requestedamount of actions, the second in line is Measure 1.2. Envi-ronmental protection with 28%. The least percentage oftotal requested amount of actions is Measure 1.3. People-to-people with 15%. The difference in order depending onwhether data is expressed in number of applications or per-centage is due to the fact that the minimum and maximumsize of grants vary: sizes of grants for the first two measuresare considerably higher (50.000-200.000 EUR) than thesizes of grants for measure 1.3. People-to-people (30.000-50.000 EUR). In direct relation to this, although the numberof applications applying for Measure 1.3. is ranked 2nd

    place, the percentage of the total requested amount of ac-tions of these applications comes last.

    The total requested amount of actions per measures is asfollows:

    Measure 1.1. Economic development:12.170.450,53 EUR-Measure 1.2. Environmental protection: 6.036.944,61 EUR-Measure 1.3. People-to-people: 3.127.864,55 EUR.

    What are the recent developments inthe field of cross-border cooperation?

    In July 2009 Vukovar-Srijem County(VSC) has signed a trilateral Memo-randum of Understanding (MoU) withthe Autonomous Province of Vojvodinaand the Hungarian county Bacs-Kiskun expressing the readiness tocooperate in various areas pursuingcommon objectives, especially in rela-tion to cross-border cooperation. It hasbeen agreed to form working groupswith the aim to prepare and propose

    projects which can be financed fromEU funds. In November 2009 the VSCprefect Mr Boo Gali signed a proto-col on cooperation with Sremska Mi-trovica and 6municipali-ties in theSrijem Dis-trict (id,Ruma, In-ija, Peinci,Stara Pa-zova and

    Irig) It is ex-pected thatthis protocolwill enhanceand speedup the proc-ess of EUintegrationand Euro-pean per-spectivesbetweenthese 2 re-

    gions and also contribute to develop-ment and strengthening of bilateralrelations on social, economic, culturaland all other levels. The most recentprotocol on cooperation was signed inJuly 2010 with West Baki District(including the City of Sombor and mu-nicipalities of Apatin, Odaci andKula).

    Did VSC sign any other MoUs withneighboring Serbia?

    In 2007 VSC has signed a Protocol on

    cooperation with South Baka admin-istrative District in order to establish,develop and strengthen bilateral rela-tions in line with positive tradition of

    euroregional cooperation. Local self-governments are in position to signprotocols on international cooperationon their own. Just to name a few ofsuch forms of cooperation, the City ofVukovar has signed a protocol on co-operation with the Municipality of Baand the City of Ilok has signed such adocument with municipalities of BakaPalanka and Irig.

    Is this cooperation on paper appliedin real life? Are there any practical

    experiences in the area of cross-border cooperation?

    About 3 years ago the projectEstablishment of ferry line Vukovar-

    Ba was initiated and fi-nanced by the dutch Govern-ment. The objective of thisproject was to create condi-tions for the development ofgood neighborly relation,boost socio-economic devel-opment and above all bring

    people from both sides of theborder closer together. An-other example is Ilok andBaka Palanka. In summer2009 these two cities jointlyhosted an art and literatureexhibition of childrens works.Under the name of Danube, a

    river that connects. Pupils of elemen-tary schools from Ilok and BakaPalanka participated together in thecontext of cross-border cooperation. Adirect result of signed declarations andMoUs are also partnerships created onprojects by applicants from our Countywhich have been submitted to the 1stCall for Proposals within the IPA CBPCroatia-Serbia. Altogether 38 projectssubmitted are originating from VSC.

    What are your expectations on cross-border cooperation under IPA ?

    So far cross-border cooperation hasbeen manifested mostly in smallerprojects on cooperation between localcommunities. With the coming of IPA

    we are expecting strengthening andspreading of this form of cooperationalso to other organizations in the eco-nomic, non-governmental sector andenvironmental, cultural and other sec-tors. As a result of this we expect anincrease of capacities in our countyand thus an increase of absorptioncapacities for upcoming structuralfunds once Croatia enters the EU.

    VSC participates in projects of multilat-eral cooperation with countries on the

    Danube. What form of cooperation isthis and how does it work?

    Cooperation between Danube coun-tries is of great significance for VSC.Our county is member of several inter-national associations dealing with Da-nube space, such as Euroregionalcooperation Danube-Drava-Sava andWorking Committee on Danube re-gions (Arbeitsgemeinschaft derDonaulnder). Cooperation is realizedeither on regional level or on local

    level through the network of Danubeoffices (Donaubros). The main idea isthe joint presentation of Danube re-gion, affirmation of this region in theEU context as well as developmentand implementation of joint projectsfinanced from different EU funds. Oneof initiatives of mentioned associationswas the development of a joint Euro-pean Danube Strategy. Ministry ofForeign Affairs and EU integration ofRepublic of Croatia has formed aWorking group that has worked on the

    development of this strategy, whichwill contribute to the realization ofCroatian interests in the Danube area.

    The European Commission adoptedthe Danube strategy and its ActionPlan on 8 December 2010. This docu-ment will reshape the traditional bilat-eral cooperation of Danube countries.

    Have you already implemented pro-jects on cross-border cooperation?What kind of project is it and what arethe lessons learned?

    We have implemented the project un-der the title Apple-net. The experi-ences drawn are good and this wasthe first project in which our Countyhas participated as applicant and rep-resentatives from Serbia were alsoinvolved. The communication wasopen, constructive and we have setpreconditions for the extension of theproject. The good cooperation experi-enced during this project has contin-ued afterwards. The objective of thisproject was the creation of an applecluster, and the extension of the pro-ject includes standardization of manu-facturing and the establishment of across-border network of apple produc-ers (applicant on this project is theInstitute for Agriculture and the Countyparticipates as local partner). The Re-gional Development Agency was partof the implemented project insofar asto provide technical support in projectpreparation and implementation.

    It was noted that a shared challengewas the lack of capacity in regards toPCM. Thus additional pressure wasput on the agency to help out.

    What are your expectations from IPACBC?

    It is encouraging to see that the coop-eration now has actually started tomanifest. According to our knowledgeat least 35 projects from OBC have

    applied for funds from IPA CBP Croa-tia-Serbia. We keep record of all thosewhom we have provided with somesort of assistance in project prepara-tion. Hence, the cooperation hasstarted and I personally think that itwent much easier than expected.Some organizations managed to find apartner thanks to our mediation andsome managed on their own to find aproject partner.

    It can be said that the interest for IPACBP Croatia-Serbia was much biggerthan for instance for the programmebetween Croatia and Hungary. This isfor the following reasons:

    1. No language barrier

    2. Pre-financing is secured

    3. There are existing economicand social relations (especiallyin the civil sector)

    4. Awareness for the need of co-operation is enhanced

    5. Similarit ies in economic andlegal systems

    6. Similarit ies in development pri-orities (agriculture, tourism,SMEs, renewable sources ofenergy)

    7. In regards to Measure 1.3. Peo-ple-to-people a good link areminorities

    Steps in finding a partner:1. Define a common goal.

    2. Check which resources yourpartner can offer which wouldcomplement yours.

    3. How much experience has thepartner on previous projects?

    4. Does the partner fit the eligibilitycriteria defined by the Call forProposals?

    5. Is the partner willing to cooper-

    ate? this is to exclude that thepartners only motivation is toget the money with your help

    Can you share some advice on how tofind a project partner ?

    My advice to all is to use the resourcesmade available by JTS, such as Infor-mation sessions, work-shops, partnersearch forums and of course contactwith the JTS staff via e-mail.

    Online partner search tool:There is an online partner search toolestablished on www.croatia-serbia.com. It works by filling in thegiven form with necessary details andcontacts you want potential partners toknow. If you are encountering techni-cal or other problems please contact

    the JTS.

    Other tips

    Another yet possibility is to check the

    list of projects already financed withinEU programs. Those projects can bethe source to find a good partner whoalready has experience in managingEU funded projects.

    Cohesion Policy is the key instrument in

    addressing the European Unionsambition to promote more growth and jobs. Sharing ideas and cooperatingacross borders is one of the mostimportant factors contributing toinnovation, which is seen as a keycontributor to achieving sustainablegrowth and jobs. European TerritorialCooperation programmes bring regionsand people together and thus facilitatethe exchange of good ideas and bestpractice in Regional Policy, irrespectiveof the existence of borders. It is in thiscontext that European Territorial

    Cooperation has moved centre stage inthe new Cohesion Policy period 2007-13. Th e increased importance of theseco-operation programmes, sti l lcommonly referred to as INTERREG, isdemonstrated by the fact they have nowimportance of these co-operationbecome one of the 3 Cohesion Policyobjectives. Th is European TerritorialCooperation Objective, fi nanced by theEuropean Regional Development Fund(ERDF), supports 70 cross-border,transnational and interregional

    cooperation programmes. Th e budget

    programmes, still commonly referred to

    as INTERREG, is demonstrated by thefact they have now become one of the 3Cohesion Policy objectives. This Euro-pean Territorial Cooperation Objective,financed by the European RegionalDevelopment Fund (ERDF), supports 70cross-border, transnational andinterregional cooperation programmes.Th e budget for this objective amounts to8.7 billion for the period 2007-13. In thesame time the EU has developed a newprogramme titled IPA (Instrument forPre-Accession) for the 20072013 prog-ramming period which represents a

    unique financial instrument regulatingfinancial allocations between EU Mem-ber States and candidate countries andpotential candidate countries. IPA Com-ponent II, titled Cross-Border Cooperati-on (IPA CBC), provides support forcross-border cooperation between Mem-ber States and potential candidate coun-tries.

    Let me start by saying that cross-

    border cooperation is perhaps the

    most visible example of European

    value addedas it improves the dailylife of citizens by overcoming national

    borders, language barriers, by filling

    in the gaps of infrastructure and

    fostering integration within the Single

    Market. That is why it remains the

    largest part of the territorial co-

    operation objective under European

    regional policy

    Regional Policy
