This cross-border programme for the period 2007-2013 between the pre-accession countries of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Montenegro will be implemented under the
centralised management.

The overall objective of this IPA cross-border programme is to foster the joint sustainable development of the crossborder area, its economic, cultural, natural and human, resources and potentials by strengthening the capacities of human resources and joint institutional networks among local communities and local private and public actors.

The strategic framework to support this overall objective consists of three specific objectives:

• To support the establishment of joint actions and strategies aiming at protecting and valorising the environmental resources of the area
• To promote sustainable development of the border area so as to stimulate the economy and reduce the relative isolation
• To re-establish cross border cooperation through strengthening previous cross border economic and cultural contacts
