PRESS RELEASE
Montenegro joins European Union research programme (25 January 2008)On
25 January Montenegro signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
the European Commission which will allow it full access to the EU's 7th
Research Framework Programme (FP7) which runs from 2007 to 2013. This
"associated status" will allow Montenegro to participate in all calls
for proposals and compete on an equal footing with the EU Member States
for research co-operation and support actions funded by FP7, as of 1
January 2008. This agreement can therefore be seen as an important step
in the process of applying to join the EU. It will allow Montenegrin
scientists, universities and companies to create links with their
counterparts across Europe and build up their scientific expertise,
including in scientific fields crucial to implementing the body of EU
legislation. With Montenegro, all countries of the Western Balkans
except Bosnia and Herzegovina are now associated to the European Union
research eff!

health, and need to provide seamless access for health care services,
independent of time and place.
