In the context of EU IPA Regulation and Transport Operational Programme (TOP),
it is crucial to strengthen the institutional, technical and administrative capacity at
the central and regional level in line with EU policies and rules.
Under TOP, which was prepared by the Ministy of Transport, it is aimed to realise
railway and port infrastructure projects to be co-financed by EU IPA (Instrument for
Pre-Accession) funds.
The purpose of the project is assisting the Ministry of Transport to overcome its lack
of experience in managing EU funds to improve its necessary administrative,
technical and human resources capacity to ensure successful implementation of
TOP. The project budget is 5,3 million Euros and duration is 5 years.
