EU funds that are available in Serbia are modest both in volume and number, since Serbia received pre-accession status only in 2014. Before that, it was only a potential pre-accession country on the external border of the European Union. From the five components of IPA (2007-2013) Serbia could have utilised only the first two components in the pre-accession process: building of EU institutions (EXCHANGE I-IV, Regional Socio-Economic Development Programme) and enhancing cross-border cooperation As a conclusion we can say that although substantial sums were invested from the above mentioned resources into the economy of Vojvodina for its development, the main indicator - the GDP - has been increasing only slightly, while these projects have no effects on decreasing unemployment. In the overall economic situation, unemployment is primarily decreased by emigration, in which Vojvodina Hungarians take part at a rate above the average compared to their headcount, thus decreasing the economic power of the community through emigration.
