The government adopted a basic set of measures for establishing a system for close inter-institutional projects, also known as twinning projects.
The document contains basic information on the submission of proposals for such projects, signing contracts, inclusion of EU funds in the project budget and engagement of experts.
The solutions will allow twinning projects, which are financed entirely by the EU, to be carried out in accordance with Slovenian as well as EU rules.
Twinning projects were instituted by the EU in 1998 in preparation for the expansion of the bloc. EU members offer support to candidate states in building their administrative and legislative capacity.
According to the SVEZ, Slovenia is mainly interested in carrying out such projects with the states of the Western Balkans, where its assistance is in great demand.
The government also discussed a report on Slovenia's ongoing and concluded twinning projects.
According to the report, four projects (three in Croatia and one in Macedonia) have already been completed, while six are still in progress.
