Western Balkan Synergies for EU integration

As a Regional project directly managed by the EC, CBIB plays a role of a ‘transmission belt’ between the Commission and IPA CBC stakeholders in the Western Balkans. Taking a region-wide perspective on the IPA CBC process allows CBIB to act as a cohesion factor for the multitude of actors involved.

Considering the EC policy framework for Western Balkans, the requirements of the IPA regulation, and specific needs of each beneficiary country, CBIB provides focused assistance to the beneficiaries. Our support ranges from every day, on-the-job assistance to tailor-made trainings/workshops/seminars, adjusted to the needs of the target group – national authorities, joint management structures or potential applicants/future grant beneficiaries.
