The meeting focused on the drafting of the Twinning contract related to the realisation of project “Strengthening the capacities of the National Assembly in the European integration process”.

The discussion touched on the content of the contract, drafting of an activity plan and how to fund the project. The contract is expected to be signed and forwarded to the European Union Delegation to Serbia by 15 March.

It was agreed that the realisation of the project, if the whole procedure is duly followed, should begin in September. Some of the project activities will, as agreed, in addition to the employees involve the MPs as well.

The National Assembly team to work on the realisation of the project will include sector chiefs, department heads and officers of the National Assembly’s European Integration Department, and the project activities will concern the entire NARS service.

The project is financed by European Union pre-accession funds (IPA) as part of the first component relating to the creation of administrative capacities in the European integration process.
