You do not need to send your project. A short description of the role you need is enough at this stage.
Programme rules
What Erasmus+ allows in Montenegro
Montenegro is a third country not associated to Erasmus+ (Region 1, Western Balkans). That is why some activities can take place here and others cannot. We check the current rules before every project — and tell you openly when an idea does not fit.
- Possible
Youth exchanges and youth worker mobility
Possible with a Montenegrin participating organisation such as Adriatic Bridge, together with at least one organisation from an EU Member State or associated country. The activity can take place in Montenegro.
- Possible with conditions
VET staff and learner mobility
Only for organisations holding an Erasmus accreditation in VET: job shadowing, teaching or training assignments and individual learner mobility. At most 20% of the grant may go to non-associated third countries.
- Possible with conditions
Higher education mobility
Through the international mobility strands of universities (international dimension).
- Not possible in Montenegro
School and adult education mobility (KA1)
Erasmus+ funds these activities only in EU Member States and associated countries — including teacher job shadowing. We help with other options: partners in EU countries or Türkiye, or study visits funded from other sources.
- Possible with conditions
Cooperation partnerships (KA220)
A Montenegrin organisation can join as a partner, not as coordinator, if it brings essential added value to the project.
- Not possible in Montenegro
Small-scale partnerships (KA210)
Only organisations from EU Member States and associated countries. We can still help organisations from those countries prepare a KA210 application.
- Possible
Capacity building (VET, higher education, youth)
Montenegrin organisations can take part in these international actions.
- Possible
Horizon Europe
Montenegro is associated to Horizon Europe: organisations take part on the same terms as those in EU Member States.

Process
What happens after you send a request
Short request
A few answers about your organisation and your need. No project files, no confidential ideas.
Personal reply
We read your request and reply by e-mail to clarify the details.
Programme check
We check the programme rules, the roles and the timing before anything is agreed.
Clear proposal
We propose the right route — partner introduction, partnership with us or writing support — with scope and conditions.
You decide
Nothing is shared with other organisations or published without your consent.
EU programmes
Two EU programmes with different purposes and rules. We check each idea against the official documents before we recommend it.
Erasmus+
The EU programme for education, training, youth and sport: learning mobility, cooperation partnerships and capacity building.
- Mobility and hosting
- Cooperation partnerships
- Capacity building (VET, higher education, youth)
Horizon Europe
The EU framework programme for research and innovation. Montenegro is associated to Horizon Europe, so Montenegrin organisations can take part on the same terms as those in EU Member States.
- Research and innovation projects
- International consortia and work packages
- Instruments for SMEs and innovators
The EU flag identifies the programmes. Adriatic Bridge is an independent association; it is not an EU body and is not funded, approved or accredited by the European Union.
