The project was proposed by the European Commission in close co-operation with the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, which supports projects in four areas: integrated border management, institutional capacity building, support for democratic stabilisation, and support for the integration of the region's transport, energy and environmental structure.
Projekat je predložila Evropska komisija u saradnji sa Paktom za stabilnost jugoistočne Evrope, koji podržava projekte u četiri oblasti: zajedničkoj kontroli granice, izgradnji institucionalnih kapaciteta, podršci demokratske stabilizacije i podršci integracije saobraćajne, energetske i ekološke strukture regiona.
