In view of the announcement of the 2nd CfP under this Programme, a series of info day session/partner search forums and a press conference for the PAs of the 2nd CfP have been organized after the publication of the call in both countries during December 2018. The aim was to publicize this CfP, outlining the criteria and providing instructions on the application process and detailed information on the application package, especially the guidelines for applicants. A general interest was awakened and the potential applicants were stimulated to apply with their project proposals. The Delegation of the EU in Skopje with support of the both OSs as well as the JTS organized 6 (six) information sessions on 6, 10, 11 and 14 December 2018 in the municipal premises of both countries. The events were followed by 213 participants representing municipalities, NGOs, educational and other institutions from both countries. The main objective of this activity was to increase the capacity of potential applicants to apply with quality projects under the 2nd CfP of this programme.
