The INTERREG IPA Cross Border Cooperation Programme “Greece – Republic of North Macedonia 2014-2020”offers ample opportunities for cooperation, good neighborly relations, and socio-economic development for the two countries. The cross border area enjoys the benefits of a vast, varied and mostly unspoiled natural environment; but it also faces many socio-economic challenges. This area where Thessaloniki, Kilkis, Edessa, Florina, and Pella and Vardar, Pelagonia, Southeast and Southwest are located is the stage for the joint actions of our countries.
The joint Programme empowers public authorities, private non-profit organizations and other institutions as well as the citizens to work together on common challenges and problems, seeking for smarter solutions which can be better achieved when we cooperate.
