This study aims to investigate the financial impact of EU funds on the economic development of Kosovo, the advancement of financial policies and the achievement of conclusions for the improvement of financial policies, which will have in the future European Union funds – the Instruments for Pre-Accession (IPA) – as the main EU mechanism for increasing public, economic and social capacities for candidate and aspiring countries for EU membership.
The study of the IPA Program for Kosovo represents an original study and aims to provide serious scientific data. IPA is a financial instrument created by the EU with the sole aim of helping countries that wish to join the EU and to settle down. IPA started functioning in 2007 and will continue to function until the countries of the Western Balkans become part of the EU. Before the creation of IPA, the EU used several programmes, such as PHARE, ISPA, SAPARD and CARDS, to assist member states and candidate countries for EU membership, such as Kosovo and Macedonia, and several Balkan countries.
