The Programme has received 91 project applications aimed at various activities in Latvia-Lithuania cross border region supported within three Programme priorities for the third Call for Proposals that ended today at noon.

Municipalities of Latvia, when preparing project applications for the 3rd Call for Proposals of the Programme should follow decision No.28 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Latvia from 11 June, 2019. Please find more information here.
