Public call for participation in the creation of Public Policy Concepts

We invite all residents of Nis to participate in the decision-making process for creating a favorable business environment for micro, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs in the city of Nis through the development of strategic development documents and public policy concepts.

In order to gather suggestions from as many people as possible, we created short questionnaires for the sectors of agriculture, innovation and MSMEs.

Please fill in the questionnaire (s) (link for online questionnaires – https://eneca.org.rs/portfolio/aktivni-preduzetnici-za-bolje-poslovno-okruzenje/) and share it with as many people as possible and/or group of citizens.

The project “Active Entrepreneurs for a Better Business Environment” that we are implementing aims to contribute to European integration and democratic development in Serbia by involving the civil sector in decision-making processes.

The project is implemented within the Program of Support to Civil Society and Media in the Field of European Integration, which is financed by the Government of the Kingdom of Sweden and implemented by the Belgrade Open School (BOS).

Publications of the QuesTour project

Cross-border project QuesTour – Valorization and capitalization of unexplored tourist cultural and historical routes in the cross-border region Bulgaria-Serbia, CB007.2.13.225 revealed dozens of unknown and unexplored cultural, historical and natural sites and resources in the Serbian-Bulgarian region. The initiative started in April 2020 and lasted until July 2021. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, in this short time it managed to promote unknown tourist places, sustainable tourism development, engage local communities and tourist resources and activate numerous pilot initiatives. All these pre-defined goals were achieved thanks to the successful cooperation between the project partners – the National Tourist Cluster “Bulgarian Guide”, the Municipality of Vratsa and ENECA.
