Commission implementing decision of 27.6.2011 adopting a Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD) 2011-2013 for Kosovo*

Abstract

The purpose of this Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document (MIPD) is to set out the EU's priorities for assistance to Kosovo for the programming period 2011-2013. The MIPD is based on the needs identified in the Progress Report adopted on 9 November 2010,Kosovo's own strategies and the Commission's 2009 communication Kosovo-Fulfilling its European Perspective. The Government of Kosovo, 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 and the programming of assistance. To better illustrate this focus, and to strengthen ownership by the beneficiaries, the Commission will increase its use of a sector-based logic in its planning of pre-accession assistance.
