The community gathers all officers operating in the various areas of Civil
Protection throughout the Balkan countries involved in the project and in
need for a flexible tool to:
·
·
Maintain and broaden the users’ network
Facilitate the interchange of inquiries, solutions and “best practices”
Encourage development and spread of a common language and methodology
within Balkan Public Administrations in the Civil Protection sector
Allow for consultancy of specialized experts

At the end of the STAGE, all the stagers of the Balkan Project
guide-lines (Civil Protection, Protected Areas and Cultural
Heritage) will participate in a seminar on “Protecting
architecture, cultural and environmental heritage from the
risks of natural and man-made disasters”.
The aim of the seminar is to establish a forum of discussion
regarding a key topic for the identity of the countries on the
Adriatic sea and to promote strategies for the protection and
preservation of strategic resources which are very important
for the sustainable development of these areas.
This is a topic on which Italy pays much attention and which
is a priority of the “IPA ADRIATIC CROSS-BORDER
