Click the link in the error, which points you to a page called 'Visual Studio 2013 Compatibility', telling you:

Windows Mobile

This project can't be opened in Visual Studio 2013 because it doesn't support the project type.

So you should continue to use Visual Studio 2012 in order to develop your Windows Mobile app.
