The overriding objective of the EU Twinning project is to support the Republic of Serbia in aligning its standards for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights with established EU practices, in order to conduct effective accession negotiations and successfully manage all the integration and pre-accession assistance from the EU. In addition, a functioning system for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights will be set up and adapted to suit EU standards and procedures. These project guidelines are implemented thanks to regular seminars, workshops and study visits.
