Commission implementing decision of 18.11.2011 on a Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD) 2011-2013 for Montenegro.

Abstract

The purpose of this Multi-Annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD) is to set out the EU's priorities for assistance to Montenegro on its way towards EU accession during for the programming period 2011-2013. The present MIPD is based on the needs identified in the European Partnership as well as in the Opinion1 (adopted on 9 November 2010 as part of the Enlargement Package) and with the country's own strategies. The Government of Montenegro, local stakeholders, EU Member States and other donors have all been consulted in the design of this MIPD. The Commission has taken a number of steps to enhance the strategic nature of this process over the last few years and to strengthen the link between the priorities established in the progress reports/opinion and the programming of assistance. To better illustrate this focus, the Commission will increase its use of a sector-based logic in its planning of pre-accession assistance for Component I and II
