European Agency for Reconstruction


The European Agency for Reconstruction used to manage EU's main assistance programmes in Serbia, Kosovo , Montenegro and the Republic of Macedonia. The Agency was headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece, with operational centres in Pristina, Belgrade, Podgorica and Skopje.
In December 2008, the EAR officially closed its doors as its mandate came to an end. Since its creation in the aftermath of the Kosovo War, the agency handled a portfolio of almost three billion euros.
