EU to grant €41.9 million to Bosnia and Herzegovina
Today (23 December) the European Commission adopted the 2013 national programme for Bosnia and Herzegovina under the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA). The funds available amount to €41.9 million, which is €45m less than initially envisaged. Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is at a standstill in the European integration process, the European Commission could not justify providing the full amount of previously envisaged pre-accession aid to the country. Unlike development aid, IPA is specifically designed to help countries with their pre-accession reforms.
The programme focuses on projects directly benefitting the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. These include support to the justice sector and the fight against money laundering, support for refugees and internally displaced persons, social inclusion in education, demining, Roma and SME development.
The allocation of €41.9m comes on top of the €16.4m already committed this year to Bosnia and Herzegovina via the Multi-Beneficiary Programme to support refugees, education and civil society.
