Ha The CFCU unit was recently established within the structures of the future EU Decentralized
Implementation System (DIS) for the management of pre-accession funds (IPA). Considering that
during the period of my engagement in the Ministry of Finance, the management of IPA funds was
organized centrally, through the Delegation of the European Commission in Montenegro and thus the
CFCU was not fully operational; therefore, my basic tasks and responsibilities within the CFCU were
aimed at getting acquainted with the relevant laws, regulations, manuals and PRAG, as the basic tool
for public procurement of services, goods, works and grants with pre-accession assistance funds. I
led several study visits to DIS structures in candidate countries and EU member states, as well as
participated in field trainings in tender commissions and working groups in the field of programming -
preparation of TOR, Project Fiche, etc.
Through the above tasks, I established close cooperation with high officials both from the Ministry of
Finance and Delegation of European Commission.
