This Programme Manual has been made to provide project partners and potential participants with all the information needed to develop, implement and close a project within the Interreg IPA South Adriatic. The manual does not replace any other documents, and we invite beneficiaries to study carefully the cooperation programme, the EU-structural funds regulations and other relevant information provided by the Partner State in which the project participant is situated.

The Programme Manual includes both Factsheets of the 2014-2020 Interreg IPA CBC Italy-Albania-Montenegro and Factsheets of the 2021-2027 Interreg IPA South Adriatic. Applicants and beneficiaries of the Interreg IPA South Adriatic are required to apply also the principles and the ratio of the programme rules of the Interreg IPA CBC Italy-Albania-Montenegro, which are still valid, unless an updated factsheet version for 2021-2027 is published on the same topic and as far as they still comply with the rules set in the 2021-2027 Regulations ETC (EU) 2021/1059 and CPR (EU) 2021/1060.
