    Dear Edin Zahirovic,

    Many thanks for your e-mail and for your interest in our institution.
    I am delighted to inform you that energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources are among our main priorities too.
    As of now, we are not developing any specific proposals as leading partner nor establishing any consortia; however, we are looking for potential project ideas and consortia to join. Therefore, we would be delighted to discuss common topics and further explore potential ways of cooperation within the second call of the EURO MED Programme. Indeed, it will be important to identify a lead partner; are you considering that option for your organization?

    The Municipality of Spinea is established near Venice (IT) and it is in charge of all administrative functions regarding its population and territory of Spinea, with a specific focus on services devoted to citizens and community, local territory and economic development, safety and culture. Moreover, Spinea will be European City of Sport in 2023.
    With regards to the current open EURO MED call, our entity is particularly interested in the “Innovative and sustainable economy” as well as “Green living areas” missions.

    Kindly, do not hesitate to let me know shall you be available for an e-meeting.
    Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.
    Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

    Best regards,
    Monica Salviato

    Very often, newcomers to trading lack some advice, support, and this leads to the fact that a person simply gives up this activity. I believe that if you don’t have a trader you know who can help you in some way, then you should use resources such as http://usforexbrokers.com/reviews/forex-com/ , where there is a lot of useful information, tips, reviews on brokers that will come in handy in the process.
