Influence of the European Funds Officer on the effectiveness of spending EU funds
The institution of European Funds Officer was established in July 2017 to assume responsibility for improving and streamlining the process of performing tasks related to spending EU funds. The task of the European Funds Officer is to monitor and inform individual institutions about the system of implementing proposed improvements in the fulfilment of national and regional operational programmes through his contact with the applicants, beneficiaries and other entities interested in implementing European funds. The article describes the European Funds Officer and his tasks; and presents an analysis of the activities of the Officer at the Ministry of Investment and Development, as well as the Officers appointed by the regional operational programme managing authorities, on the basis of their annual reports.
