Before entering the European Union it is essential to create internal capacity which the main objective is the utilization of financial and business opportunities arising through EU funds. Each country which is on the path to membership in the European Union since the signing the Accession Treaty has the possibility to get financial and technical assistance from the European Union. In this way, it simplifies the process of accession. This is accomplished by pre-accession funds, whose key role is reducing economic and social disparities in the European Common Area. In addition, pre-accession funds should help countries faster and more efficient growth and development, to facilitate attraction of new investment, increase exports, reduce debt, etc. Experiences in using pre-accession funds provide a good basis to other countries and the opportunity to prepare in time for the other instruments of regional policy in which they will participate equally when they become full members of the European Union. The aim of this paper is on a concrete example, created and approved project under IPA IV model, which is financed by European Union funds show the flow of the most important components of the project and the way how the most important components are connected in joint project that has the prerequisites to be accepted by the European Commission.
