A joint project of Croatian and Slovenia youth associations called "Children And The Youth Do Not Recognise Borders", aimed at a better social integration and cooperation among the youth, was presented in Ljubljana on Thursday.

The project is worth EUR 232,000, 85 % of which is provided by the European Union which co-finances such projects through operational IPA SI-HR 2007-2013 programme.

The project, launched in April 2011, is expected to be completed in March 2013. It includes 5,000 children and young individuals from local communities along the Croatian-Slovenian border and about 40 associations, a news conference heard.
