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 socioeconomic 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.

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.

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 183 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 decisionmaking 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.

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 Tourism Development Strategic bjective 5: 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 193 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).

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 InterRegional 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. The project objectives: Improved organizational effectiveness and efficiency of three regional Tourism Organizations and increased their capacities to fulfill Sustainable interregional development partnerships. Target group: Expected results: - Defined the best practice principles for sustainable interregional tourism development Indicators: Municipalities allocated 20% more funds for RTOs Joint work plan of 3 organizations developed At least two inter regional tourism products developed Interregional routs are in offer of at least touroperators No of arrivals and overnights in Drina Tara region increased for 20% − Capacities for regional marketing improved − Interregional cooperation established − Tourism turnover in Drina Tara region increased Tourism industry actors in Drina Tara Region The main activities: - Providing and equipping of space - Strengthening of human resources potentials - Training - The development of programme of joint work - Creation of mechanism for sustainability - Provide study visits to best practice examples; Implementation period: The main risks: RISKS: - Changes of Directors - Lack of funds from municipal budget - Inadequate selection of job candidates Estimated cost: Two years 200 000EUR 215 The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies ц) Technical documentation and cost analysis д) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Municipalities Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: Sources: 20% Municipalities in Drina tara Region 80% Donors Regional development Agency Zlatibor 216 Project 2: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : (where the strategic objective of the programee/project contributions?) Increase tourism turnover and income in Drina Tara Region. 2. Sectoral objective(s): (which the sectoral objective of the programme/project contributions?) The imrovement of existing capacities and the development of new facilites of the spa, mountain and special interest tourism 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 project objectives: Target group: Developed study of existing accomodation capacities and investment potentials Domestic and foreign investors Domestic and foreign tourists Accommodation providers (hotels, hostels, households...) Ministry of economy and regional development (sector for tourism) Regional and local TOs Tourism agencies Expected results: Accommodation facilities and their capacities and conditions identified, mapped and rated Developed Guide on the process of adjusting existing capacities to tourists demand Indicators: Study on number and state of accommodation facilities developed, printed in 500 pcs, and distributed to key stakeholders Developed investment profile for potential investors The main activities: - Development of project assignement - Field research on number and state of existing accommodation facilities - Research on tourist market demand regarding quality and structure of accommodation facilities - Research on domestic and foreign investment potentials regarding improvement of existing and Implementation period: 12 months 217 building new accommodation facilities The main risks: - Public procurement procedures - Lack of monitoring mechanisms - Inadequately articulated tasks - Lack of information on field/distorted information Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies ц) Technical documentation and cost analysis д) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: NGO Prijatelji Srebrnice 100.000 Eur Sources: RDA Zlatibor 218 % Project 3: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : (where the strategic objective of the programee/project contributions?) Increase of tourism turnover and income 3. Sectoral objective(s): (which the sectoral objective of the programme/project contributions?) The imrovement of existing accomodation facilities of spa, mountain and special interest tourism 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. Target group: The project objectives: Domestic and foreign investors Rehabilitation and renovation of accommodation facilities in Drina-Tara region existing Ministry of economy and regional development (sector for tourism) Regional and local TOs Tourism agencies Expected results: Accommodation facilities renovated and adjusted to tourists demand Indicators: 8 small-enterprises rehabilitated according tourist market requirements Developed investment profile for potential investors in building new accommodation capacities The main activities: - Mapping and listing of gray fields in accommodation industry - Mapping and listing of accommodation facilities which require rehabilitation and renovation - Assessment of tourist market requirements regarding accommodation - Assessment of investment potentials for domestic and foreign investors - Creation of investment profile - Pilot project conducted on 8 small-enterprises accommodation providers The main risks: - Ownership - Expensive loans - Permits, licences and administrative procedures Implementation period: 3 years Estimated cost: Eur 800.000 219 The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies ц) Technical documentation and cost analysis д) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: Municipalities, Local LTO Sources: 50 %Donors 30%Governments 20% Private sector Regional development Agency, NGO Prijatelji Srebrenice 220 Project 4: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Higher income creation in the tourism industry and creation opf possibilities for self employment. 4. 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. 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 Expected results: Rural householders trained in good rural tourism management practice Eight Welcome and Information centres for rural tourism development established Network for the integration of the regional rural tourism product established Visibility of regional tourist products increased The main activities: Mapping localities for 8 WIC. Training design and delivery activities to provide motivation, knowledge and skills for rural householders. Procurement activities to purchase wooden cabins hosting WIC’s, online booking software, IT and office equipment, minivan. Target group: 120 householders involved in rural tourism in Drina-Tara region LTOs in Drina-Tara region Indicators: 120 households attended training in legal, financial and marketing of rural tourism in the first 4 months of the project 120 business plans drawn in the first 5 months of the project 120 households enlist for the regional rural tourism network 8 wooden turn-key cabins purchased and equipped to host the rural WICs in Drina-Tara region 8 operation and action plans developed for WICs to ensure their functioning Information Management System developed Network operational in 10 months after the project 50 stakeholders joined in the Network WICs linked through establishing on-line booking system 120 households registered through on-line booking system data base 20.000 tourists/visitors used selling services of WICs per year 5.000 tourists purchased day trips 5.000 tourists used additional services of WICs During the 2nd semester of functioning, WICs increased the visit for 30% than during the 1st semester Implementation period: 18 months 221 Information technology activities and WIC organization. WICs integration regionally, nationally and internationally. Network management. The main risks: Inconsequent participation of household owners in training sessions. Limited interest in some of the training topics. Delays in opening some of the WIC’s. Risk of fire, arson or theft for the WIC wooden cabins. Householders’ reluctance to feed information in the network database. Inconsequence in updating information in the network database. Difficulties in technical connectivity with other websites. Difficulties in stakeholder collaboration.

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. The project objectives: Target group: Domestic and foreign tourists Increased inter-communication in cross-border area through development of unique cultural exchange Ministry of economy and regional development (sector for tourism) Regional and local TOs Tourism agencies Expected results: Indicators: Study on cultural tourism potentials in Drina-Tara region developed Tourist turnover increased for 15% in Drina-Tara region The number of visits to cultural objects At least 5 different cultural routes developed and promoted The cultural tourism in Drina-Tara region recognized on international level The main activities: - Mapping and listing of material and spiritual cultural heritage - Evaluation of tourism potentials of identified elements of cultural heritage - Creation of unique cultural routes in cross-border area - Promotion of cultural tourism as a tourism form additional to the other tourism forms Implementation period: The main risks: - Inadequately articulated tasks - Lack of information on field/distorted information - National regulations Estimated cost: 1 year Eur 380.000 223 The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies ц) Technical documentation and cost analysis д) Project proposal Е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: Local LTOs Cultural organizations Sources: 50 % Donors 30% Governments 20% Cultural institutions RDA Zlatibor , NGO Prijatelji Srebrenice 224 Project 6: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Human resources development 6. Sectoral objective(s): Improved education facilities and training in tourism sector Name of the programme/project: Improving education of tourism personeel by establishing training of tourism 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. The project objectives: Improved offer and quality of services in tourism sector Target group: Employers, employees, unemployed, private sector Expected results: - Improved skills of tourism staff - Increased quality of provided services - Increased number of tourists Indicators: - Number of trained staff - Number of satisfied tourists The main activities: - Assement of present training needs - Engaging adequate traininrs according needs - Organization of trainings - Assesment of tourist satisfaction with services Implementation period: 12 months The main risks: - Lack of verification system Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies ц) Technical documentation and cost analysis д) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: Local Tourists Organizations National Employment Service 100.000 EUR Sources: 80% donors 20% National Governments Regional Development Agency Zlatibor Uzice, NGO Prijatelji Srebrnice Private sector 225 Project 7: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : (where the strategic objective of the programee/project contributions?)

Natural wealth and geographical diversity of Drina-Tara Region provides great possibilities for developing different aspects of special interest tourism. In order to develop and improve offer it is necessary to provide appropriate accomodation and other following facilities, required by visitors.

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. The project objectives: Enhancing recognisability of tourism destinations in the Drina Tara region. Target group: Domestic and foreign tourists Regional and local TOs Тourism service providers Expected results: Created image (branding) of Drina –Tara region. Designed web presentation of the 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.

Name of the programme/project: Together in Action for Sustainable Rural Development Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: 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. The project objectives: Target group: Created institutional conditions for joint development of rural community potentials of 13 local communities in Drina-Tara region Built regional capacity for planned approach and better absorption of available financial resources for rural development. Decision-makers at the local level Media Unemployed youth leaders Raised local capacity for promotion and acquisition of new knowledge in the field of sustainable rural development Expected results: Adopt Regional Strategy for Rural Development Establish Regional Council for Rural Development Establish three centres for education and support of rural development 232 Indicators: Develop and published Strategy Choose 13 local communities on adopting a proposed strategy Establish a Regional Council as a nomination of members of Regional Councils Decide on the establishment of Training Centres The main activities: Preparatory activities The consultative process for the preparation of regional strategies for sustainable rural development Foundation of a regional advisory body for rural development Foundation of three centres for education and support for rural development Implementation period: The main risks: Insufficient local capacities Political instability - Elections The project team - inconsistent expectations Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive prefeasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: 18 months 180 000 euro Sources: Government ministries of Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro 10% Local government 10% Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evaluation: Partners in Montenegro - Centre for Agriculture development in Bijelo Polje, local authorities from all three countries covered by the programme, Ministry of Agriculture of BiH, Faculty of Economy in Montenegro, Ministry of Agriculture, Trade and water management in Serbia, Agency for Rural Development STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development Association: Centre for Human Rights and Democracy Sectoral objective(s): Building regional and local capacities and preserve natural resources for rural tourism 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 The project objectives: • Mapping needs and the recognition of rural tourism as a development opportunity of the Drina Tara Region • Promotion of best practices examples from leading European countries 233 Target group: Service providers in rural tourism Local producers Tourists • • The modernization of rural tourism services Continual education of local actors Expected results: Educate at least 200 service providers 50 representatives of local government involved in the process Map offers and existing capacities Create a unique guide and database Indicators: The main indicator is the number of overnight stays in the region Defined rules for domestic products promotion and a code of conduct The main activities: Evidence of accommodation capacities in the region (an electronic database, printed guide of the region’s offer) Mapping rural households Training legal entities, associations, market analysis, accommodation and food standards Defining the local traditional offer Defining the rules of conduct and local products promotion Study cases with a visit to Italy and Slovenia Implementation period: The main risks: Different expectations of stakeholders in the project The who do not follow the rules Those who give up on the education process Political changes at local level Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive prefeasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Sources: Donors 80 % Local government 10 % Ministry 10 % Partners(in): Tourist organizations of all local governments Local governments NGOs Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evaluation: STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Sectoral objective(s): 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 24 mounts 240.000 € RDA Zlatibor 3. Name of the programme/project: Place the Drina Tara Region on the European map Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: 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. 234 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. The project objectives: Target group: Promote existing tourist offers in the Drina Tara Region Local self government representatives, embassy representatives in three countries, the European tourist, tourism staff in the Drina Tara Region Creating a strategic frame for a successful position of the Drina Tara Region in the European event map Informing the European tourist about local options in the Drina Tara Region Exchange of knowledge and experience with similar European regions Expected results: Indicators: Regional strategy adopted by Assemblies of three local self government Decisions of local self governments on adopting a regional strategy Joint website operational Number of visitors to the joint website Established and appointed regional body for promotion A decision on establishing a Regional body adopted Create and broadcast 9 TV series Number of TV-shows broadcast and TV-stations which cover it Study tour to Spain realized Number of study tour participants and the success of the study tour to Spain Local events presented abroad Number of embassies participated at the presentation of the Region The main activities: Implementation period: Preparation activities 18 months Creation of a joint promotion strategy in the EU Joint Regional website List of local events Study tour to Spain Memorandum of cooperation on a regional level Promotional activities, TV series, printing materials in Serbian, Spanish and English language, presentation of regional events to representatives of foreign embassies The main risks: Low interest Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive prefeasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: 300.000 Euro Sources: Donors 90% Local self government 10% 235 RDA, TO from Region, Tourist center Bajina Bašta, NGO’s, local self government Civil society association STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development Sectoral objective(s): Preservation and promotion of traditional products 4. Name of the programme/project: Preservation of indigenous varieties of fruit Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: 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. The project objectives: Target group: Increased nursery production of indigenous varieties of fruit Increased production traditional manner and processing in Fruit producers and processors, citizens and local government the Develop public awareness related to the need for limited harvesting of forest plants 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 main activities: Prepare activities Selection of representative samples Identify and collect indigenous varieties of fruit in the Region Select fruit producers Create reports from the field Implementation period: 236 18 months The main risks: Natural disasters Non-profitability of producers Estimated cost: The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive prefeasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evaluation: 80 000 Euros Sources: Donors 80% Self Producers 10% Ministry of Agriculture 10% Association of producers and processors of fruit, Agricultural extension services, Fruit Research Institute STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : The tradition of region Agricultural extension service of Uzice Sectoral objective(s): fruit production in the Drina Tara 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). Justification (problem and solution) and a brief description of the programme/project: 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. Target group: The project objectives: 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.

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 The project objectives: Target group: Increase the competitiveness of agricultural products by building local capacities for the production of healthy safe food Agricultural producers and processors, population and local self governments Increase the placement of traditional products with a geographical origin on the EU market 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 Implementation period: 24 months Estimated cost: 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 240.000 EUR 239 The status of readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive pre-feasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposals е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evaluation: Sources: Donors Producers: 80 % 10 % Ministry of agriculture: 10 % Association of fruit producers and processors, Agricultural extension services, Fruit-growing Institute, economic entities from the Drina-Tara Region STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE : Regional cooperation and networking for sustainable rural development Association of cold-storages Ljubovija Blueberry Association Bajina Basta Agricultural extension service Uzice Regional Chamber of Commerce 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. The project objectives: Target group: - Introduce agricultural producers from 10 municipalities of the Drina Tara region with innovation in the implementation of agro-technical measures. 200 entrepreneurs, 10 local governments, 20 owners of agricultural pharmacies - Increase the level of knowledge among agricultural producers about the innovation in implementing agrotechnical measures. - Create conditions for monitoring the implementation of agro-technical innovations on the territory of 10 municipalities in Drina-Tara region. 240 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.

Local communities in this region have a number of events and destinations that may become visible and accessible to a larger number of tourists from around the world. Currently there is no clear and precise plan for greater promotion of the region on the market. Also, there are sufficient funds to consolidate existing resources and share presents. Due to a lack of cooperation and lack of communication between key stakeholders there is a favorable regional environment for potential investors in tourism development. There is no common regional event or events, nor a recognizable tourist route that would allow tourists to visit all major destinations in this region within 7 days. By implementing this project, proposers would like to create the conditions for greater investment in rural tourism, develop marketing activities for the promotion of existing destinations, and design joint appearances in front of investors and consumers of rural tourism in the Drina Tara region. The project objectives: Target group: Increase visibility to investors and tourist access to the Drina Tara region Potential donors, representatives of local tourism organizations, representatives of local governments Increase the level of cooperation of local stakeholders in defining the common tourism product Indirect target groups - tourists from the region Promotion of public and private partnership in creating opportunities for regional development Expected results: Indicators: Build a marketing plan for the Drina Tara region The quality and visibility of the marketing plan Produce and present investment maps for the potential of the region The number of investors who are familiar with the potential of the regional map Define and promote 7 day tourist routes The number of included agencies which offer 7 day tourist routes in the Drina Tara region Complete a donor conference The number of satisfied visitors with a joint stand at the fair The joint appearance at the fair of rural tourism The main activities: Implementation period: 24 months Preparatory activities Development of a Marketing Plan of the region Mapping the investment potential of the region Creating a brochure for investors Defining common regional events A joint appearance at donor conferences A joint appearance at rural tourism fairs The main risks: Estimated cost: 200 000 euros Different legislation Agreement of local governments related to joint performance plans 242 The status of the readiness of the project: а) Ready for implementation b) Positive prefeasibility studies c) Technical documentation and cost analysis d) Project proposal е) Project idea Sources of financing/co-financing: Partners(in): Leading project/ implementation/monitoring and evalution: RDA Zlatibor, tourist centers and organizations (Bajina Basta), local governments Working bodies in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Hercegovina Sources: 243 Donors 80 % Local governments 20% SME AND ENTREPENEURSHIP Strategic objective: Sector objective: To contribute sustainable economic development through export oriented SME in the Drina – Tara Region To increase SME competence level MSP-a in the DrinaTara region through support to quality standards. 1.

Name of project/ program: Study tours and SME promotion in the EU Justification (problem and solution) and short brief of program/project: Lack of new markets, difficulties comparing markets, technologies, trends and a low level of production are basic problems in the SME development sector in the Drina – Tara Region. For growth and development of current SME it is necessary to support initiatives for these companies to represent their products and services at international trade fairs in the EU. Trade fairs are a significant opportunity for the SME, for cooperation with companies from the EU as well as a chance to realize specific business ideas. Besides, visits to EU companies provide this Region’s SME managers more experiences, to realize new business practices and develop contacts. Finally, a local department of production can also work for an EU company. Overall project objectives; Target group: To increase the level of services and the placement of goods in the EU.

Name of project/program: Pre-qualification and additional education of the unemployed according to the needs of businesses of the SME in the Drina – Tara Region Justification (problem and solution) and short brief of program/project: The Drina-Tara Region has a high unemployment rate mainly because of a poor level of economic activity. The education and knowledge of the unemployed in SME sectors doesn’t fit the requirements to potentially own businesses. This project aims to reduce the gap between the needs of the SME and the personal skills of unemployed persons. They need to identify with the current SMEs as potential employers in the Drina-Tara Region according to the research analysis for START-UP businesses. There is a need for cooperation with other institutions who will organize relevant education and training for the unemployed. The aim is to boost the staff numbers, employment rate, the number of medium and small time entrepreneurs. Target group : Overall project objectives: 1.

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.

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. We need to support the enforcement of sustainable entrepreneur models in High schools and in cooperation with the Ministry of education.
