Co-operation programmes and Bosnia and Herzegovina
As long ago as 1989, the Council of Europe reacted to political developments in central and eastern Europe by setting up a number of specific legal co-operation programmes, open to all its member states and also to applicant states. These programmes are designed to help countries to press ahead with their institutional, legislative and administrative reforms
Furthermore, specific programmes, jointly funded by the European Commission and the Council of Europe, have been - or are being - implemented in certain countries, the aim being to establish an institutional and legal framework consistent with European standards.
For more information, see http://www.coe.int/T/E/Legal_Affairs/ (“About us” section then “Co-operation programmes”).

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the Council of Europe has also been implementing programmes of assistance for the development of the democratic stability, designed for promoting local and regional democracy in the member states of the Council of Europe.
For more information, see http://www.local.coe.int (“Assistance programmes” section).
