The costs

The Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works will not charge costs for control for Bulgarian partners involved in an Interreg Europe project.

On-the-spot checks

For projects where partners report equipment and/ or infrastructure & works costs related to a pilot action, at least one "on-the-spot check" should be carried out during the project lifetime.

For a project not reporting pilot equipment/infrastructure costs – a check could also be organised if risks are identified.
