The costs

The Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds (MRDEUF) will not charge costs for control for Croatian partners involved in an Interreg Europe project.

On-the-spot checks

On-the-spot verifications of individual projects are carried out by the controllers at the premises of the controlled beneficiary and/or in any other place where the project is being implemented (e.g. at project event/meeting, at the place of physical project output or virtually).

For projects chosen for performance of on-the-spot checks, on-the-spot checks will be conducted when in the reporting period infrastructure/works/equipment have been reported and at the latest upon completion of project implementation, i.e., after the last expenditure has been incurred and before validation of the last report.

In addition, further on-the-spot checks may be performed in accordance with potential risk identified during project implementation.
