Luxembourg's development cooperation - Annual report 2012

Thanks to the impetus of Luxembourg’s bilateral cooperation in the forestry sector, Montenegro currently benefits from European Commission financing - through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) - for a capacity building project in two key forestry institutions, namely the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Forestry Administration. This tripartite cooperation between the European Union, Luxembourg and Montenegro, and the strong synergy between this joint project and Luxembourg’s bilateral project “Forest Development in Montenegro” have led to real advances in the development of Montenegrin forestry while supporting Montenegro on its path to European integration.
