EU funding opportunities in Serbia | EU projects in WB | WeBalkans

Serbia

Population 6.8 million

Serbia is a candidate country for European Union membership. The EU is Serbia’s primary political and economic partner, and its largest provider of financial assistance. To support Serbia on its path towards EU membership, the EU and Serbia are working closely to meet EU standards. This covers many areas – from strengthening the rule of law and countering corruption, to improving human rights and the business environment.

 

In parallel, the EU’s financial support in fields like environmental protection, infrastructure, business competitiveness, education, culture and more, are bringing benefits and opportunities for Serbian citizens.

Opportunities

Democracy and fundamental rights, Equality and fair society

Call for the Selection of Implementing Partner Organizations

This call is launched as part of “Increased Education Opportunities for Roma Students and Roma Youth in Western Balkans and Turkey” project, financed by European Commission Directorate-General European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations (DG NEAR). The ultimate scope of the interventions should be the development of #resilient communities through #education, using as approaches the growing mindset of the Roma communities, enhance the educational access of the Roma communities, developing the human resource capacity at each possible level, implying use of technology and progressive methodologies.
