Dear Nataša,

I am writing on behalf of Community Impact Accelerator – Zid (ADP-Zid), a non-profit NGO based in Podgorica, Montenegro, in the hopes of joining your consortium.

Through the course of nearly 30 years since ADP-Zid was established, we have participated in several Interreg Danube and Interreg Cro-BiH-MNE projects, as well as numerous EU-funded programs. We are also the Info Centre for ESF+ and EaSI strand programs in Montenegro, as well as the contact point for the European programs Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.

The programs and projects we conduct are in terms of cross- border cooperation, green and digital economy growth, sustainable tourism, creative industries, promoting social innovations and entrepreneurship, education and youth participation process, regulating the job market and developing the concept of affordable housing.

One of the projects we have implemented that particularly pertains to this topic is “Child Friendly Tourism in the Cross Border Region”, CBC Montenegro – Albania. During the course of the project, we focused on encouraging the tourism industry to sustainably develop its services using ICT.

If you recognize Montenegro as a valuable region for the realization of the project and ADP-Zid as a potential new partner, we look forward to our further cooperation. Should you have any more questions, we could organize a Zoom, Teams or Skype meeting to address any matters that need to be discussed.

For more information, please contact us via email on zid@zid.org.me or sanda@zid.org.me

2. Establishment of gourmet innovation hub, where schools, universities, restaurants, local producers, IT companies, the scientific community, nutritionists and enthusiasts converge to redefine the art of gastronomy with special emphasis on sustainable management and recycling (with a focus on the zero-waste concept).
