Interreg Cooperation Day in Montenegro: celebrating cross-border collaboration and European values

Interreg Cooperation Day was marked in Montenegro with a series of events in the coastal town in Herceg Novi and the capital city of Podgorica, showcasing the results of cross-border cooperation projects and highlighting European values through a European film showcase.

A large group of people, some with bicycles, stand outdoors in front of a hillside fortress and colorful buildings. The sky is overcast, and everyone is dressed in casual to formal attire.

Organised by the Ministry of European Affairs, the celebration began in Herceg Novi within the framework of the Interreg IPA Programme Croatia – Bosnia and Herzegovina – Montenegro, highlighting the impact of EU-funded cross-border projects while also promoting local development.

On this occasion, Minister of European Affairs Maida Gorčević met with Mayor of Herceg Novi Stevan Katić and Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Montenegro Yngve Engström to discuss ongoing EU-funded projects and local efforts to strengthen cross-border cooperation. The meeting was held at Ivo Andrić’s House, which was renovated thanks to the Co.Co.Tour project, co-funded by the Interreg IPA CBC Italy – Albania – Montenegro 2014-2020.
