Frequently asked questions
How do you “withdraw” funds from EU funds?
The project preparation process depends on the type of investment and the investment activity. It begins with the analysis of the project idea, the analysis of open and announced tenders, the analysis of the client’s eligibility for a specific tender, and the preparation of tender and project documentation, the complexity of which varies from tender to tender.
When can we start implementing the project and finance costs already incurred with grants?
The project implementation period means the start date and expected implementation completion and is defined in the Grant Agreement. The project implementation must not begin before the project proposal submission and must not end before the signing of the Grant Agreement. Additionally, specific from Call to Call, the maximum duration of the project and the final date by which the project must be completed at the latest is defined. It is not possible to finance costs that have already been incurred with grants. Exceptionally, depending on the type and type of tender, specific categories of expenses may arise before submitting the project application, and they refer to the costs of consultants for the preparation of the project application and the costs of creating project technical documentation.
What is financed by EU funds?
EU funds finance projects that contribute to the development goals of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia, as well as specific investment areas defined by operational programs. The programs cover a wide range of investments, and investments in research and development, digitization, information and communication technology, transport and environment, energy, and investment in infrastructure projects are predominantly encouraged.
How intensively does the EU finance projects?
The intensity of co-financing depends on the type and type of investment, the size of the entrepreneur, and the location of the investment. The Block Exemption Regulation (BER) defines the intensity of co-financing and can amount to up to 100% of eligible project costs. However, as a rule, depending on the specific type of Call and the prescribed intensities, the applicant will have to prove participation in the project through his involvement.
