AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree publishes an amendment to the France-Serbia agreement on the activities of the French Development Agency group in Serbia. The main change is that Expertise France is now treated as part of the AFD Group alongside AFD and Proparco for the purposes of that agreement. This gives Expertise France the same operating framework in Serbia for its cooperation and development projects. The amendment also says that procurement for AFD-funded projects must follow AFD procurement guidelines. It applies to current Expertise France projects and programs in Serbia, so public bodies, project partners and contractors working on these programs should check whether AFD rules now govern procurement and project procedures.
