I would like to briefly introduce CEEO (Center for Energy, Energy Efficiency and Environment), a Bosnia and Herzegovina-based NGO and expert organization working on energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development.

We are currently implementing an Interreg Danube project and have previous experience with Interreg MED projects, including the implementation of an Interreg MED project in 2022. We are also currently implementing a circular economy project supported by the UNDP–Czech Challenge Fund, giving us relevant practical experience in this field.

In addition, CEEO has experience in urban planning and nature-based solutions through our previous URWAN project, which we see as particularly relevant to the “Greening living areas” topic.

Our team has extensive experience in developing EU project applications and in the implementation and management of EU-funded projects.

If you are planning to apply under the upcoming Interreg MED call and are building a consortium, we would be very interested in joining. We believe CEEO could bring relevant expertise and practical experience to the partnership, and we would be happy to discuss potential areas of cooperation.

Please let me know if you are considering an application, and we would be happy to have a short call. You can contact me: emina.mravovic@ceeo.ba
