Commission Decision of on a Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD) 2008-2010 for Serbia.

Abstract

In line with the recommendations of the Enlargement strategy, the revised key priorities in the 2007 European Partnership and the requirements of the SAA, the Instrument of Pre Accession 2008-2010 focuses its support to Serbia in the key areas, considered crucial for the fulfilment of the Copenhagen criteria and the preparation of Serbia for EU Accession. In addressing those key priority areas due consideration has also been given to the major lessons learnt from the implementation of the CARDS and Phare programmes as well as identifying key risks for the successful implementation of the respective actions at the level of the sectors of interventions, specifics of the final beneficiaries or respective institutional framework. Those risks are linked among others to potential lack of political commitment and changing political priorities, limited absorption institutional capacity, low level of project readiness etc.
