The Interreg VI-A IPA Hungary–Serbia Programme announces that its 2nd Call for Proposals has officially closed. The submission deadline expired on 15 December 2025 at 15:00 CET. This Call targeted non-profit organisations from the Programme area, covering Bács-Kiskun and Csongrád-Csanád counties in Hungary and seven districts of Vojvodina in Serbia. During the three-month application period, the Programme organised multiple Info Days and consultation sessions and responded to a large number of applicant inquiries.
The Call generated strong interest, resulting in a total of 136 submitted applications, requesting EUR 38.4 million in EU support. This represents three times the available budget of approximately EUR 12.9 million, indicating a high level of competition across all Priorities and Objectives. The Programme expects that high-quality projects will be selected for contracting in 2026.

The Programme is now entering the formal and administrative assessment phase. Project representatives may be contacted for clarifications in January, while the completion of the formal assessment is tentatively planned for February 2026.
