The Interreg–IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme Hungary–Serbia, based on the Regulation (EC) No 231/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 447/2014 (IPA II Implementing Regulation), was approved by the European Commission, by its decision C(2015) 9488 on December 15, 2015. The strategic Call for Proposals is the first call of the Programme.

Today we use interactive maps more often than printed versions. Interactive maps are more practical and give us more information that the other ones. So apart from our printed Guide through the border crossings between Hungary and Serbia, we created an interactive map to help you plan your journey across the borders. Please click on the map and enjoy the trip through the region.
