Dear Marta,
We are interested in topics such as improving ecological connectivity which is very relevant in the area of Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina, since as in any other urban area facing similar challenges of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss. The city of Sarajevo with a status as one of the most visited tourist centers in the South-east Europe undoubtedly face challenges in terms of managing ecological connectivity and biodiversity conservation. In the same time, the under-managed and under-valuated rural areas of the Canton as an invaluable reservoir of biodiversity, with endemic species and unique ecosystems are in need for protection and sustainable management. The constant increase of tourists’ influx, rapid urbanization, infrastructure expansion, recreational activities etc. – all impact natural habitats and wildlife populations. The Chamber of Economy of Sarajevo Canton worked on the strategic documents for the development of rural areas in the Sarajevo Canton and would be very happy to join the consortium you intend to form for the development of your project proposal. The Chamber has experience in implementing EU projects, and if you think we can be a good partner from Bosnia and Herzegovina, please contact us at darkov@pksa.ba
Kind regards,
Darko V.Dear Chiara,
the project idea is very interesting, and we (Chamber of Economy of Sarajevo Canton) would be happy to join the consortium that needs to be formed for further development of the idea and (hopefully) its realization. Sarajevo is a place where the cultures of the south and north of Europe, Western and Eastern Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have met and merged, as well as the empires of European history. Despite the continuous increase in the number of tourists to Sarajevo, the magnificent natural environment surrounding the city is still neglected or underdeveloped in terms of tourism. Sarajevo is among the few capital cities in Europe that have almost all geological formations, geomorphological forms, and an extremely high degree of plant and animal diversity in its vicinity. It is significant to mention that the rural area in the Sarajevo Canton covers about 92% of the total area of the canton. Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains of unique beauty, some of which exceed 2,000 meters in height.
The Chamber of Economy has experience in implementing Interreg, IPA Cross border, and other similar projects, possesses the necessary infrastructure, as well as its own Education Center, and numerous partners in the country and the region. If you believe that the Chamber of Economy of Sarajevo Canton would be an adequate partner from Bosnia and Herzegovina for your project, we would gladly be part of the consortium.
In case you think there is room for our inclusion in the consortium, please contact us at: darkov@pksa.ba
Thanks and best regards!
Darko V.
