This funding complements the €56m already available under the country's 2012-2013 national programme of the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA), which supports reforms that are key for the country's EU accession process.

Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Commissioner Štefan Füle said: "This funding will help improve services and infrastructure in poor rural areas, bringing concrete benefits to local citizens. It will help the country meet the EU standards in agriculture and make further progress in European integration."

The bulk of the programme (€15.5m) will be implemented under joint management with the World Bank. It will specifically target poor rural areas and municipalities, thus facilitating access to funds.
