Serbian government’s EU Integration Office presents Twinning Project
Belgrade,
13 April 2006
Head of the Serbian EU Integration Office Tanja Miscevic presented today the Twinning Project for Serbia-Montenegro titled "Capacity Building of Public Administration in EU Integration Process", in a move to prepare institutions and administration for EU accession.
At a press conference held at the Serbian government building, Miscevic said that the state union will conduct the project together with experts from France and Slovenia. The project was initiated by the European Commission and aims to endorse cooperation between institutions of EU member and candidate countries, added Miscevic.
Deputy Director of France Cooperation International (FCI) Gerard Bouscharain pointed out that the project will take two years and that €2.5 million has been set aside for it.

During this period, a great number of experts will be engaged in the project. However, three standing advisors will work with the administration of the state union of Serbia-Montenegro, as well as its member countries, said Bouscharain.
Twining Project Coordinator for Slovenia Andrej Engelman said that in 1998 Slovenia was ranked as the weakest EU candidate, but it joined the Union as the best prepared new member state.
Engelman noted that the Twinning Project is a partnership that will seek for a best solution for Serbia-Montenegro, adding that it will not be just a copy of Slovenian or French models.

Engelman also said that Serbia needs to precisely define its European objectives if it wants to achieve any result in Brussels.
