C.2 Validating Survey C.2.1. Questionnaire / Methodology A second local survey was held in February 2011. The survey was developed by SSL/IPTS in order to gather additional information on critical needs and priorities in the priority areas, and to complement the baseline assessment exercise. In contrast to the first questionnaire of October 2010, which aimed at collecting the opinions of the public on which are the priorities regarding local development, the second questionnaire focused on receiving an institutional and expertise feedback from the institutions, which were in charge of addressing the priorities identified by the SG. By having open, semi-structured questions (with precise options to choose), the aim was to see whether the actions proposed were the appropriate ones. The sample was “institutional” in the sense that it included representatives from all local institutions (stakeholders both from local institutions, business groups and civil society). This was also a way to increase the participatory approach by including in the project all those local experts/institutions not part of the SG. The open questions aimed also at collecting some qualitative information in order to have a clearer picture of the socio-economic situation at the local level considering the lack of available data. The open questions and the sample of questionnaire were the result of the need to expand the participatory approach to local stakeholders, to collect feedback for our strategy and to collect additional qualitative data. The sampling approach for the selection of respondents was as follows. Four respondents were randomly selected from each of the six categories of representatives (municipalities, branches of central government offices; chambers of commerce, business development organizations; farmers, and representatives of agricultural associations; hotel and restaurant owners and other tourism operators; higher education organisations (universities, technical schools); training providers). Some minor exceptions are possible with regard to small municipalities. The “country” sample is, however, equally distributed amongst the six groups, and age and gender are also equally distributed among the sample. Questionnaire Question 1: (Open question) What would be for you an attractive label (a logo with a slogan) for the Drina-Tara region that could be used to promote local products, tourism in the area, and attract investment? Question 2a: What do you think are the potentials of the following “tourism products” in your municipality? Spa tourism; Special adventure sports tourism (paragliding, rafting, climbing…); Summer mountain tourism: hiking, camping; Winter mountain tourism; Cultural tourism, religious and patrimonial or local traditions (food etc); Rural tourism staying farms/rural facilities.

C.2.2. Results a. Slogan/Logo Question 1: What would be for you an attractive label (a logo with a slogan) for the Drina-Tara region that could be used to promote local products, tourism in the area, and attract investment? On the first question of validating survey concerning the options for an attractive label to promote the Drina-Tara region and local products (question 1), many respondents chose a label with correlations to the region’s agricultural and natural resources. Most respondents from Serbia referred to the Tara Mountain and the Drina river as main symbols. One respondent from Uzice, for instance, formulated the slogan “River, mountain, Drina & Tara: Green Embrace”. Another respondent from Uzice argued for “River and mountain - Harmony of untouched nature”. A respondent from Prijepolje came up with: “Two rivers, together for a better future”. Equally, respondents from Bosnia-Herzegovina mostly invoked the natural resources of the region, but some also pointed to the promotion of agriculture and organic food as a main symbol, as conveyed in the slogan “Live and eat healthy” (Bratunac). In any case, most of the slogans or logos proposed reflected tourism, natural resources and agriculture as key aspects. b.

ANNEX E: Experience of CSO's youth programmes in Serbian Municipalities of the Drina Tara – Appraisals of local agents Uzice

• In Uzice, civil society organizations focus on vulnerable groups such as refugees and internally displaced persons, persons with disabilities, including children and youth, persons with disabilities and so on. More and more in everyday life we are witnessing the activities implemented by organizations engaged in protecting women, promoting women rights through education, health and economic programs,. As for the young, they participate in the areas defined by the national strategy for youth (education, environmental protection, activism, safety, leisure, information). But young people are only fictitiously included in decision-making in Uzice, because institutions that have to deal with young people do not do that. This is one of the last municipalities in the country that created the office of youth but, the coordinators there have no office, no budget, no phone .... Despite this, It is important to note the establishment (in march 2011) of an Umbrella organization which will gather 7 NGOs dealing with youth issues.

Cajetina

• In this municipality there is an NGO "Zlatibor Circle", which, in support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, in the period 2007-2009 implemented several projects for youth, including the establishment of youth organizations CMOK, which has been an active partner with “Zlatibor Circle” in youth activities for several years. Part of this project was the establishment of the Office for Youth, which is now independently and in cooperation with the "Zlatibor Circle"and local institutions organizing youth programs.

• NGO's took part in the Balkan Community Initiatives Fund project in 2008. - "We are in the program" aimed at strengthening activism of youth. They launched several local media projects: Youth Radio show, which aired every Saturday and Youth newspaper that have come out once a month.

• In 2009, representatives of "Zlatibor Circle" also participated in the process of developing the Local Action Plan for Youth, adopted by parliament in January 2010. This NGO is particularly encouraging youth volunteering, which is also part of prevention of socially unacceptable behavior, violence and juvenile delinquency.

• Members of "Zlatibor Circle" are also members of the Council for Gender Equality, Council for Social Policy of Cajetina municipality.

Priboj

• According to the results of the conducted programs of the Local action plan, young

184

people have participated in most of the following areas:

• Culture: Some innovations were introduced in this field, such as the theater section of young amateurs who, with the assistance of the Office for Youth, realized theatrical performances and thus enrich the cultural offer to citizens. The Office for Youth has made archaeological sites in the function of a basis for developing educational programs for youth.

• Sport: an extraordinary turnout of young people in amateur tournaments and school sport. Education: noticeable interest of participants in various aspects of informal education and youth influence on the content and quality of the education process.

• To a lesser extent, young people are involved in the field of health and social welfare, economics and the field of youth entrepreneurship. Due to the extremely weak market and a weak business sector young people seek their opportunity in larger cities, so interest of young people in this area is net.

• In the scope of local government, the young seem quite indifferent, except when they are in political parties. They think that the local government, but also the school system and other institutions do not take them into account so their participation in decision-making process. For example, the Office for Youth was able to arrange an "empty chair" at the Assembly of municipality so that young people had a right to express their views and to participate in some discussions but not to decide and vote. Therefore, response of young people to engage and express their opinion was very small .

Ljubovija

• Young people are not active in any area, except business sector. A major problem is the young people are leaving from Ljubovija and those who remain act passively.

• Young people could participate and do a lot in terms of cultural life, sports and promotion of healthy life in this municipality. They could deal with the protection of their environment, only if they wanted to.

Local Strategy:

Bratunac Strategy The vision of the municipality is based on achieving the following values: 1. Valuing education and skills development, 2. Promotion of new technologies, 3. Infrastructure 4. Tourism, 5. Recognition of the private sector and agriculture as the major and leading power in employment, 6. Natural wealth

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

In accordance with the future vision of the municipality, identified the following strategic

objectives:

Strategic bjective 1: Improve Infrastructure

Strategic bjective 2: Improve working conditions for local government

Strategic bjective 3: Improve agricultural production

Strategic bjective 4: Increase the level of employment through the encouragement of private enterprise

Strategic bjective 5: Tourism Development

Strategic bjective 6: Improving interpersonal relationships and mutual respect and tolerance among citizens

DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS

Agricultural land, non-metal minerals, waterways and forests, as natural resources, whose exploitation does not require large investments finansijaka, are very important direction of strengthening the activities in terms of agriculture, livestock, production of building materials, forest exploitation and wood processing. Bearing in mind that in the municipality there is a long-standing tradition in these sectors, one of the first steps in their revival of the rehabilitation, reconstruction and putting into operation of neglected and abandoned facilities (fertile land, mini farm, purchase stations, orchards and malinjaci, separation and brickyard, sawmill and wood processing plants). However, construction of small processing facilities and food processing plants, would create, along with modest investments, multiple positive effects, expressed by reducing the high unemployment rate, and finalization of the product would allow the market realizes higher profits than the sale

194

of raw materials and intermediate goods, with special emphasis on organic production and orientation to provide a healthy safe food.

Since the above does not exhaust the natural resources only in its use-value, the next strategic priority is the development of tourism and catering. Given that tourism is developed any form (hunting, fishing, spa, sports and recreation, rural, transit or other) is inconceivable without a high level of infrastructure, activities should be directed towards reconstruction and modernization of road network (local paving gravel roads and rehabilitation of main roads), solving the problem of waste and storm water in the county, and in particular to prevent further spillage of sewage system in the Drina River through the construction of the collector, then to the repair depot, raising environmental awareness, and to rebuild facilities and expansion of tourism offer, the development of complementary activities (modernization of border trade, service and craft facilities, transportation, and enrichment of cultural and artistic events in the city, creative and artistic expression).

Sectoral objective(s):

Encancing regional tourism offer in Drina Tara region

1. Name of the project: Capacity building of three Regional Tourism Organizations(RTOs) in Drina Tara Region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of thr programme/project: The principal function of the RTOs is to promote and market tourism for the regional area. The existing three RTOs Regional tourism Organization of Western Serbia, Regional Tourism Organization Bjelasica Komovi and Tourist Inter-Regional Drina Association- TIDA are on different development levels and experience sharing would be interesting for each one. The RTOs operates on a very small budget of roughly RSD1.5million (€16,000) that, whilst insufficient for purpose, is nevertheless a step in the right direction. It is important that RTOWS begins to take on more tourism product and improvement functions that involve a more cooperative municipality approach. The organizations relies on funding from the participating municipalities to promote and market tourism for the regional area. However, the RTOs budget of roughly RSD1.5million needs to be greatly expanded in order for it to undertake more effective regional tourism roles. Thus, it is important that RTOs begins to take on more tourism product and improvement functions that involve a more cooperative municipality approach. The RTOs should expand its activities in order to strengthen its regional marketing functions and to develop a product improvement role in the region. Once the Drina Tara tourist region is structurally developed with all its capacities in place, they will start to create a good quality tourist product that will represent each of the countries , and gain international promotion.

2. Name of the programme/project: Study of accommodation capacitiea in Drina tara region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of thr programme/project: There is a need to carry out a detailed market assessment for Drina – Tara region which would establish what the potential demand would be for the next period for visitor accommodation, in which location and in what category of provision. This analysis would have to look at the market segments, namely the potential demand for business, transit, event and resort-related accommodation, for example, and how this could be met. For example, the lack of accommodation for visitors (principally business) is a significant problem and this could be addressed through the introduction of investment incentives and/or the identification of potential sites/buildings for accommodation. In addition, there should be a review of the guesthouse and homestay facility provision and how this could be improved. In addition, and as part of this study, it would be necessary to explore the possibilities for providing financial incentives for investors, such as tax-free periods for investment, low interest loans, subsidies for heritage building conservation, reduced government land offers and other measures which could attract good quality accommodation into the area. Measures should also be identified for clarifying land and building ownership and obtaining consents. The study would need to be undertaken by a tourism market specialist with particular knowledge of the hotel sector in the Drina-Tara and Balkan region. There would also need to be financial and funding expertise on the study team.

The imrovement of existing accomodation facilities of spa, mountain and special interest tourism

3. Name of the programme/project: Renovation of existing accomodation capacities in rural Drina-Tara region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project:

Tourism accomodation is a widely diverse sector cavering a variety of facilities. The extent of the range seems to depend on demand and the availability of resources. For example, backpacking tourists require simple constructed accommodation, rather than large-scale developments. On the other hand, business people require top-rated metropolitan accomodation. Tourism expansion is certainly accompanied by the increasingly varied nature of the demand for accomodation. Specific demand which is coming from the tourists requires renovation of existing accommodation facilities which will become appropriate for various tourists requirements.

Project 4:

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Higher income creation in the tourism industry and creation opf possibilities for self employment.

Sectoral objective(s): Improving competitiveness of the regional rural tourism product, by integrating natural and cultural attractions, regional festivals with activities and regional specific handicraft, food and drinks.

4. Name of the programme/project: Network for rural tourism development support

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: To achieve the purpose, the project engages the two target groups: individual householders and local tourism organizations. The project activities address the problems identified by proposing in the following intervention steps:

• Rural Tourism as a Business: work to bring rural householders to a higher professional level, by providing training on good practice in rural tourism management. Highlight the benefits of rural tourism as self employment opportunity. A group of activities aimed at human resource development.

• Rural Tourism Product Definition: Collect and up-date information in 8 relevant locations about all the components that define a rural tourism product. WICs will be established in the 8 locations in order to provide accurate information for the tourists (demand side) and for householders, tourist organizations and municipalities (supply side). Activities include procurement and information management.

• Regional Tourism Product Integration. A regional network will integrate rural tourism components into a regional product. The network will include a wide range of stakeholders, local, regional, national and international. This will meet tourists’ expectations and it will benefit the supply side with higher income. Activities include information integration, partner networking and promotion.

The project objectives: The project objective is to develop an integrated regional rural tourism product in Drina-Tara region

Project 5:


Increase of tourism turnover and income


Cultural tourism introduced as an important driver of tourism development

5. Name of the programme/project: Renovation of existing accomodation capacities in Drina-Tara region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of thr programme/project: It is important to recognize that any discussion of the inter-relationships between tourism, culture and development is confronted by several layers of complexity. The very nature of culture entails that it is not static. Rather it evolves and changes, and as such the multifaceted relationships it shares with tourism also change. In addition, the structures and practices of tourism are seldom isolated from other aspects of life; rather tourism, in structural terms and as a set of social practices, is inter-connected with all aspects of daily life. Tourism touches upon people’s connections with other peoples, places and the past (all being highly contested terms at both the individual and collective level), and in policy terms tourism cuts across the fields of planning, education, health, environment, transport, development and culture. The overlaps and competing priorities have made it important to develop strong cultural tourism in Drina-Tara region as an instrument of connecting people in cross-border area and exchange of cultural and social habits in order to decrease differences.

personenel

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of thr programme/project:

Having in mind existing potentials, Drina-Tara Region should be focused on tourism development as a source of economic development, increased income, creation of new jobs and other socio-economic benefits for entire Region. In order to improve existing offer, and to meet market demands as well, there is a need for interventions related to human resources. It is necessary to improve skills of present staff engaged in tourism sector according to the up-to-date requirements and trends. Also, young people educated in tourism doesn't receive necessary knowledge through formal education system, and their skills have to be adjusted to tourist demands. In this respect, the overall training needs in the tourism sector have to be assesed in detail, which could provide information about qualitative and quantitative needs for training and education in this sector.

Project 8:


Increased turnover and income from tourism industry in Drina Tara Region



Improvement of marketing and promotion of tourist destination in Drina Tara region

8. Name of the programme/project: Marketing plan for Drina Tara region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of thr programme/project: However, in order to maximize the future benefits of their attractiveness it is necessary to establish what these areas have to offer, especially in relation to competing destinations in the Balkan area and in Central Europe, and the potential visitor markets. Furthermore, a marketing strategy or development of a marketing plan cannot proceed without a clear understanding of the tourism products available since it will be these for which demand is sought through any campaign undertaken. Similarly, any product development planning must take into account what the market wants and to be in line with market expectations. Products and markets are mirror images of each other. Thus, attractions or destinations need to be market-tested and assessed in terms of their offer in the face of competing destinations. The attractiveness of the Drina-Tara Region should be considered in terms of the following: primary attractions that draw significant numbers of visitors in their own right, clusters or groupings of attractions, circuits that are often themed, for example religious attractions that link monasteries and churches together; and key events that may include sporting or cultural gatherings. These factors need to be considered in conjunction with the brand image for the Region, existing marketing campaigns and the quality of facilities provided (accommodation, restaurants, utilities and road access). Destination marketing builds on initial market perceptions, creating and strengthening the market image and developing expectations among the target market segments. Unless prospective visitors have a positive impression of a destination with expectations that they will find interesting and enjoyable things to see and do, they are unlikely to choose to visit. Whilst positive ‘word of mouth’ recommendations following a visit (to friends, family and colleagues) is a highly cost-effective form of marketing for the destination, this is not likely to be a firm basis for an area to develop into a major visitor destination. Thus, with a substantive and well-targeted marketing and communications campaign, a destination could achieve much greater visitor volumes for its existing tourism attractions and facilities without eroding the goodwill felt by those coming to the area. Of course, as demand grows so the range and capacity of the tourism product will also need to grow. Whilst a concerted and coordinated marketing and promotional campaign may be required that highlights a few major attractions, which would be supported by a diverse range of sites, facilities, activities and circuits throughout the area, it is likely that private sector operators and other organisations will probably also undertake their own individual promotional activity. Not with standing this, all activities should follow, and be based on, an overall strategic marketing and tourism development approach.

Project 10:

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Increasing of incomes from tourism by increasing visibility of region tourist products

Sectoral objective(s): To make tourism offer transparent and to help visitors in orientation in Drina-Tara region

Name of the programme/project: Setting up adequate tourism signalisation

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: Directional signage to visitor attractions is inadequate throughout Drina-Tara region. There are some directional signs in the standard brown tourism format, but they are few and far between and many are indistinctive and of an impromptu nature. Some municipalities, however, do seem to have implemented a tourism signage system to destinations. Nevertheless, comprehensive signage is needed throughout the area. This project would identify the attractions that would need signage, from what locations and the design of the signs. The project objectives: The main objective of tourism signage is to achieve a balance between assisting visitors, minimizing environmental intrusion and maintaining safety

Target group: Visitors of Tara-Drina region LTOs in Drina-Tara region Tourism service providers

Expected results: Regional tourist information centre established Signs for accommodation and restaurants set up Signs for tourism attractions and locations set up Regional info tables/billboards and maps set up on “hot spots” Increased visits of transit tourists to local attractions

Indicators: Increased visibility of tourism offer Increased awareness of region tourism potentials Increased number of tourist arrivals Easier orientation of visitors

The main activities: An assessment of the existing tourism signage situation. Determining what key attractions need to have directional signage and from what road types (primary, regional and local). Prioritization of sites (in accordance with the development programme). Choosing a visual identity for the labelling of each product (localities).

RURAL DEVELOPMENT: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development


Development and improvement of local capacities for payable economic and sustainable rural development.

1. Name of the programme/project: Together in Action for Sustainable Rural Development


Drina-Tara Region covers the territory of 3 countries and consists of 13 local communities, which are different in economical development and position within their countries (Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina). Besides the obvious difference these local communities have much in common. Geographically they exist alongside the Drina River and the Tara mountain. All local communities gravitate in the border areas of their states and they are distant from their administrative centres and in the transition period have undergone economic decline. In order to catch up with new trends of development, local communities have developed their own strategic documents and all of them recognized rural development and agriculture as a main priority and development opportunities. Decision makers and other important local actors are aware that one of the chances of development is regional and inter-regional connectivity for mergers of existing resources and gaining new ones. Common priority of rural development is a topic that needs a planned approach to ensure consistent work over the long term.

All three countries have signed bilateral agreements on cooperation in various fields. Institutional cooperation at the regional level includes:

• to draft and adopt at the local level joint strategy for rural development in this region that does not exist now;

• to create a regional inter-state council to take care and plan implementation strategies for a longer period of time

• to establish centres for education and support rural development in the administrative centres of these small regions (north of Montenegro, Western Serbia, Eastern Bosnia). Local communities have recognized rural development as a priority and to develop opportunities while they do not have developed awareness and knowledge of what rural development means (It is not just agriculture and export of raw material)

• Decision-makers at the local level didn’t use enough mentioned opportunities, what caused a lack of quality regional projects. So in all three countries there is no capacity for quality access to available funds from the EU.

Proponents of the project believe that implementation of activities and achieved results will enable and contribute to future decentralization and regionally responsive to the needs and challenges in local communities.


Created institutional conditions for joint development of rural community potentials of 13 local communities in Drina-Tara region

2. Name of the project: Rural tourism as a development opportunity of the Drina Tara Region

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: Local communities in the Drina - Tara region have a natural potential for developing rural tourism which differs from currently existing major tourist centers (Zlatibor, Tara, Mokra Gora, Visegrad SPA etc. This would attract more visitors from the region and the EU. Current challenges in the region are: There is not enough accommodation capacities offering rural contents. Existing capacities are not sufficiently promoted in quality, and that causes inadequate utilization. Lack of joint regional offers which could be offered on the market. Lack of knowledge and experts who would deal with improving offers and the quality of rural tourism Perceived challenges could be overcome by starting a process that would have 4 phases: Mapping needs and recognition of rural tourism as a development opportunity of the Drina Tara Region Promotion of best practices examples from leading European countries The modernization of rural tourism services Continual education of local actors Whole the process will be implemented over a long period and the main result will be an expansion of rural tourism and economic development of the region

Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development


Develop and improve cooperation in the promotion process and raise the visibility of tourist potential in the Drina Tara Region

3. Name of the programme/project: Place the Drina Tara Region on the European map


The Drina Tara Region is recognized on national level, surrounding countries and in European countries like a destination as a potential attraction to visitors: natural resources, cultural-historic heritage, multi-cultural values, traditional products which characterize this Region. Local communities from this Region have numerous destinations to explore which could be more visible and available for a greater number of tourists from all around the world. Local community representatives recognized the need of a joint appearance with unique offers on European tourist market. At the moment, there isn’t a joint plan, neither the product which could be offered in a manner to use the potential resources for developing different types of tourism which is based on local products and attractions. For the mentioned reasons, the Region’s position isn’t marked on the map of European tourist events.

235

By implementation of the Project, proposers would like to make preconditions for increasing tourist visits to local communities of the Drina Tara Region during the whole year. Regional strategy for this position on the European market should be developed during this project. Different activities will be performed in order to promote existing events on local and regional level. That will, in short time, promote and provide an adequate position of existing events on the map of European tourism.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development


Preservation and promotion of traditional products

4. Name of the programme/project: Preservation of indigenous varieties of fruit


In the Region of the Drina-Tara there are a large number of registered agricultural households and an established tradition in the production of fruit, vegetables, honey, dairy and meat products according to the old domestic recipes.

Besides the large production of different varieties of fruit (raspberries, plums, apples, blackberries...), most of the households also have the old indigenous varieties of fruit. Taking into mind the tendency and orientation toward large production, agricultural producers show less interest for indigenous varieties of fruit. Besides that, there is plenty of forestry fruit-strawberries and blueberries in these areas whose gathering is uncontrolled and there is a real danger of their disappearance.

As the Region tends to develop rural potentials and to be promoted in the world uniquely, it is necessary to preserve the old variety of fruit and include indigenous varieties and their processed products in the Region.

The project proposals consider that there are two parallel directions of operation:

1. stimulate fruit producers and producers of nurseries to grow indigenous varieties of fruit

2. raising the awareness of local governments, citizens and buyers of forest fruits that there are limits in harvesting these products

This will contribute to even greater offers of specific products from the Region.


Increased nursery production of indigenous varieties of fruit

Increased production and processing in the traditional manner

Develop public awareness related to the need for limited harvesting of forest plants

Target group:

Fruit producers and processors, citizens and local government

Expected results: Select at least 20 indigenous varieties for further planting Conduct a campaign to preserve the region’s biodiversity At least 50 fruit producers ready to start massive production of indigenous varieties of fruit

Indicators: Number of selected varieties Number of persons who have received information about the importance of preserving forestry plant resources Number of planted fruit trees

The tradition of fruit production in the Drina Tara region


5. Name of the programme/project: Education of agriculture manufacturers and the introduction of a quality system in agricultural production (fruits, vegetables, honey, meat and milk).


The Drina Tara region has a large number of registered agricultural households and a tradition of fruit, vegetables and honey products, manufacture of milk and meat by the old traditional recipes. Most of the registered agricultural households have production capacity for subsistence and a small segment of production they place on the market. A small percentage of them place a large percentage of these products on the market. The market is very demanding and the disposal of products is difficult because there is no useful quality system for agricultural production because of a lack of knowledge and information of farmers. There is no awareness that investments in continual education pays off many times in a different manner, and that effects what could be perceived in a very short time both on a personal and social level. The lack of knowledge and a quality system in agricultural production will completely detract farmers from the region to place their products on the available markets of neighbouring and EU countries.


To raise the knowledge of manufacturers about the importance of introducing a unique quality system in production by the education and dissemination of good practice examples from the EU.

To create conditions for the implementation of quality systems in 15 pilot agriculture households.

Protection and promotion of traditional products made of milk, meat, fruit and honey

6. Name of the program/project: From our field to the European table

239

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the program/project:

There is a large number of registered agricultural households in the Drina – Tara Region, as well as traditional production of fruits, vegetables, honey, meat and milk products made according to the old traditional recipe. The following challenges are required in all targeted local communities:

No one takes any action in regard to branding traditional products and protection of geographical origin, which is the consequence of a lack of information and the ignorance of local movers.

The educational system doesn’t treat education of adults sufficiently, and the institutions for producer development doesn’t exist

Capacities for processing agricultural products are insufficient, archaic and unavailable for producers

Networking between those in a valued list doesn’t exist, and associating and clustering is also at a very low level

As a consequence of the described situation, products made in this region are weakly placed on the EU market and very often there is unhealthy food on the market.

This project will be implemented in 2 phases:

1. Construction of the necessary infrastructure for the production of healthy safe food

2. Distribution of products on the EU market


Increase the competitiveness of agricultural products by building local capacities for the production of healthy safe food

Increase the placement of traditional products with a geographical origin on the EU market

Target group:

Agricultural producers and processors, population and local self governments

Expected results: Network the value of the active persons list Educate at least 500 individuals Map existing problems and joint solutions defined Promote products - local brands, smoked ham, sweets, blackberry vine etc Develop a study of collecting workstations Opened 6 collecting workstations

Indicators: Number individuals who attended the training Number the new associations Number the recognized and initiated joint movers Number those who opened and collected workstations

The main activities: Preparation activities Mapping producers Education – healthy soil, an integral approach in plant protection, critical points in technology, harvest Creating a database of purchaser and producers Developing a study of cooler workstations Setting up pilot workstations


24 months

The main risks: Lack of networking and poor communication in production and processing Lack of applying newly acquired knowledge Property relations unsettled in places where pilot workstations are planned Poor cooperation between buyers and producers Lack of associations and co-operatives

Sectoral objective(s): Connect products in the region aiming toward a common style of appearance on the market

7. Name of the program/project: Improvement of the current methods of production and processing of agricultural products(fruit, vegetables, honey, meat and dairy products)

Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the program/project: The Drina-Tara region has a large number of subjects, which are engaged in production and distribution of agricultural products. The chain of production includes agricultural producers, distributors of seed, preparation for protection and nutrition, packaging distributors, transporters, collectors etc. Cooperation between them and the degree of implementation of innovative agro-technical measures is low. Therefore, level of yields and commercial benefit per hectare of plough land is low. Applying agro-technical protective measures is on a low level and in 90% of cases wrong. In the process of primary production of agricultural products applied agro-technical protection measures are inconsistent. On the market one can find preparation which is forbidden by the law. Consequences of this attitude, is that contracted export businesses are failing, because the final products can’t meet basic quality requirements. Controlled products contains substance which are not allowed or they are present in amounts which are not allowed. It is necessary to conduct permanent education of all mentioned market players and create a system for monitoring the application and innovation of agro-technical measures. So the competition of agricultural products will be increased on domestic and foreign markets, and also economic benefits for individuals and societies will be increased.


- Introduce agricultural producers from 10 municipalities of the Drina Tara region with innovation in the implementation of agro-technical measures.

- Increase the level of knowledge among agricultural producers about the innovation in implementing agro-technical measures.

- Create conditions for monitoring the implementation of agro-technical innovations on the territory of 10 municipalities in Drina-Tara region.

Expected results:

- Agricultural producers are introduced with innovations in the implementation of agro-technical measures.

- Increase the level of knowledge in the implementation of agro-technical innovations.

- Created conditions for monitoring the implementation of agro-technical innovations.

Indicators: - Number of persons which are introduced with agro-technical innovations in all three countries - Number of people attended education training - Database of economic entities and primary producers - A common service for the monitoring of innovations and their implementation

The main activities: - Preparatory activities - Presentation of innovations in implementing agro-technical measures. - Mapping economic entities and primary producers - Education related to innovations and the implementation of production and the processing of agricultural products. - Establishing a common service for the monitoring and implementation of innovation.

4. Name of project/ program: Analysis of market opportunities for the creation of START-UP businesses and its development

Program justification (problem and solution) and short brief of program/project: The lack of market information is one of the major problems in entrepreneur development and START-UP businesses. The youth and unemployed are potential entrepreneurs who do not have entrepreneurial initiatives or ideas about what businesses they can invest which provides profit to them. Also there is no necessity for the development of new businesses focused on their needs to simultaneously provide long term opportunities for new entrepreneurs. It is well known that the agricultural and economic sectors have a huge potential in this Region, but there isn’t adequate strategic plans for development of these sectors based on any information system. Enforcement of markets research contributes the quality and relevant information for the creation and development of START-UP businesses. So one has quality decisions on the creation and investment of potential entrepreneurs

Sector objective: Progress in personal skills are vital for the youth. There’s a need to stimulate creativity, responsibility, team work and the ability to make decisions

8. Name of project/ program: Entrepreneurship in schools

Program justification (problem and solution) and short brief of program/project: The low number of entrepreneurial initiatives of the unemployed can be solved with a specific education system. High schools in the Region do not have adequate practical education that contributes to raise the awareness of entrepreneurship to pupils. Some of the High Schools participated in the BIP project – the business innovation program supported by the Norwegian embassy gained positive results without systemized education.

Program justification (problem and solution) and short brief of program/project: A major problem of this region is the high unemployment rate as a result of the war and the breakup of former Yugoslavia. Therefore most of the economic systems are destroyed. A poor privatisation process results in high unemployment because the public was previously employed by a larger economic system.

HDI or poverty rates if exists (if not describe situation at national level)

There is no data about poverty line or level of poverty at municipality level. Anyhow the last investigations suggest that 17% of population in B&H lives under the poverty level. Having in mind that big part of population are Roma it is expected to that situation in this municipalities is worst then national average suggest. It very important to outline that almost 1/3 of population lives very near to the poverty border, so any worsening of economic situation will push them under the poverty line.

There is no data about poverty line or level of poverty at municipality level. Anyhow the last investigations suggest that 17% of population in B&H lives under the poverty level. Having in mind that big part of population have relatives in EU or USA it is expected that situation is a little bit better then in rest of B&H.. It very important to outline that almost 1/3 of population lives very near to the poverty border, so any worsening of economic situation will push them under the poverty line.

There is no data about poverty line or level of poverty at municipality level. Anyhow the last investigations suggest that 17% of population in B&H lives under the poverty level. It very important to outline that almost 1/3 of population lives very near to the poverty border, so any worsening of economic situation will push them under the poverty line.

There is no data about poverty line or level of poverty at municipality level. Anyhow the last investigations suggest that 17% of population in B&H lives under the poverty level. Having in mind that big part of population have relatives in EU or USA it is expected that situation

is a little bit better then in rest of B&H.. It very important to outline that almost 1/3 of population lives very near to the poverty border, so any worsening of economic situation will

push them under the poverty line.

Unlike other Montenegrin medieval towns, this place was not inhabited continually, so new times did not bring changes to affect its earlier ambience.

picturesque settlements around Skadar Lake

quality of housing, architecture, the city expanded in a form of often chaotic urban sprawl, with densely built private lowrise dwellings leaving little space for streets and sidewalks. Efforts have been made to improve the infrastructure of those settlements, but many problems remain, especially in large low-rise neighborhoods in north and northeast Podgorica.

Well preserved architecture of the XIX century there are churches and buildings from different epochs, squares, medieval palaces and houses that once were abundant with life.

Need a prohibition on further unplanned development, environmental protection along the river Bojana, the Sasko Lake
