The Interreg VI-A IPA Programme Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro consultation was conducted through an online survey commenced in May and remained open until 31 October 2024, ensuring ample opportunity for diverse participants to share their insights.

As part of a broader Europe-wide initiative led by the European Commission, this consultation gathered valuable input from Interreg and Programme stakeholders across Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The primary objective was to inform the policy debate on the future of territorial cooperation beyond the 2027 programming period, bringing forward insights from those most directly impacted by and engaged in the Programme.

The report emphasizes the unique perspectives of stakeholders and citizens, whose practical expertise and lived experiences are crucial in identifying the evolving needs of territorial cooperation. Their feedback highlights priorities, challenges, and opportunities, ensuring that the post-2027 Interreg framework is grounded in the realities of cross-border communities. By presenting these findings, the report seeks to contribute meaningfully to the European Commission’s ongoing efforts to shape an effective and inclusive policy framework for the future of Interreg.
