Well-Informed Citizens - First Step towards Higher Participation

18 May 2012, Vranje

The representatives of the Vranje City Administration, non-government organisations and business sector, who took part in the third debate held within the campaign “I Want to … because I Live Here”, agreed that well-informed citizens were the first step that had to be made if they were to actively involve themselves in the political processes and assume the role of local administration watchdog. By implementing this campaign, which promotes the principles of accountability, transparency, equality, efficiency and participation, the European Partnership with Municipalities Programme - EU PROGRES wants to familiarise the public with the importance of good governance in socio-economic development processes.

Branding South and South West Serbia

18 January 2012, Sjenica, Vranje

The pristine nature of Mt. Golija, the nature resort Uvac and the Pešter plateau, the spas, the rich cultural and historical heritage, diverse farm produce (paprikas, sour cherries, plums and cheese) and health food, high quality water, winter sports, the trumpet, warm and congenial people living in multicultural communities – these are just some of South and South West Serbia' potential brands. This conclusion was reached at two seminars on branding organised in Sjenica and Vranje by the European Partnership with Municipalities Programme – EU PROGRES.
