Upon successful cooperation and completion of the IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Albania-Montenegro 2007-2013, the IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Montenegro-Albania 2014-2020 was established as the new cross-border programme under IPA II.

The global objective of the programme is to promote/strengthen good neighbourly relations and socioeconomic development of the border regions, through valorising its touristic potentials, an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive economic development, with respect for its common cultural and natural heritage. This will be achieved through joint projects that fall within the following programme thematic priorities (TP):

• TP1: Encouraging tourism and cultural and natural heritage;
• TP2: Protecting the environment, promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation, risk prevention and management;
• TP3: Promoting employment, labour mobility and social and cultural inclusion across the border.
