As part of the Local Administration Facility (LAF) we are announcing an open call for interested participants representing local self governments in a study tour related to the EU legislation and practice, focusing on efficient use of Structural Funds, which is to be held from 12 to 14 March 2012 in Brussels.
The aim of this study tour is to give local and regional representatives the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the EU regional policy and efficient use of Structural Funds to local and regional authorities coming from the Western Balkans.
The EU Delegation in Serbia will select up to 5 representatives of local self-government units (cities / towns, municipalities and city municipalities) to participate in this study tour. Participants will be selected from throughout Serbia, and advantage will be given to municipal employees who work in the subject area, and have limited experience in cooperation with the EU, so the study tour would bring them maximum benefit. Applicants need to be aware that one of the requirements for participation is an excellent working knowledge of the English language, as the programme of the visits is to be held exclusively in English.
We ask all interested participants to send us the following documentation, in English, at the latest by Tuesday, 31 January 2012, 17:00 hours:
The documents should be sent exclusively by e-mail to the following address: sanela.veljkovski@skgo.org
Applications sent to other e-mail addresses or those sent after the stated deadline will not be taken into consideration.
