The IPA II CBC Programme Bosnia and Herzegovina – Montenegro 2014–2020 is a territorial cooperation Programme, continuing from a previous exercise carried out in the financial perspective 2007–2013. The Programme area covers 30,367.33 km². The Programme area in Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of 56 municipalities while the Programme area in Montenegro consists of 14 municipalities. The overall Programme objective is: The sustainable development in the cross-border area between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro is promoted by the implementation of common actions based on an efficient use of the comparative advantages of the Programme area. This objective has been translated into the following thematic priorities: –
- TP1: Promoting employment, labour mobility and social and cultural inclusion across the border;
- TP2: Protecting the environment, promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation, risk prevention and management;
