The European Commission has adopted the 2013 national programme for B&H, under the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance IPA. Funds are available in the amount of 41.9 million EUR, which is 45 million EUR less than was initially anticipated.
As B&H is at a standstill when it comes to the process of European integration, the European Commission could not justify giving the full amount of previously envisaged pre-accession aid to the country, reads an EU statement.
Along with the 41.9 million EUR, earlier this year 16.4 million EUR was allocated for Multi-Beneficiary Programme to support refugees, education and civil society.
