DIP will continue to offer current expert information on the EU funding opportunities in its office, by phone, email and throughout the information events in the municipalities of Stara Zagora region. DIP will participate in the implementation of all initiatives of the network. If necessary, DIP will create and distribute materials among the participants in the public events containing current information for funding, including application guidelines, eligible beneficiaries and activities. Pursuant to the Regional Development Fund DIP will take part in the Mediation Unit /MU/ and the Public Consultations’ Unit /PCU/ at the Regional Development Council /RDC/.
