Application of a projects for EU funds
Multi-phase process:
1. Administrative check of project applications
(assessment of technical conditions for the application)
2. Checking compliance of project applications with the
approved selection criteria
(assessment of compliance with the strategies and programs)
3. Eligibility check of project applications
(assessment of compliance with the requirements for projects)
4. Eligibility check by European Commission (>50mil€)
5. Financing Decision and Contract
Project implementation - Contracting
• Tender procedures for works, services, and equipment - Public
Procurement Act fully harmonized (EU funds);
• The contract documentation for works - FIDIC (Federation
Internationale des Ingenieurs - Conseils) Construction contracts
(EU funds);
• Tender documentation for services and equipment - Public
Procurement Act fully harmonized (EU funds) .
Tender documentation should be finished/near finished at the time
of approval of the project in order to ensure the timely
implementation of project activities .
25
End of project (Contract)
• After implementation of the project, assessment of the performance
of the project is carried out, that is, the justification of financing of
the project by the state:
– Achieving the anticipated results of the project (built ...)
– Achievement of project indicators (achieving the purpose/goal)
– The contribution of the project to OP indicator (contribution
purposes)
– The contribution of the project to OP objectives (contribution to a
cause)
• Infrastructure projects are also reviewed for durability of ownership
and use of infrastructure.
• In case of project failure, there is a return of investment to the state
