of the meeting was to present and discuss the working packages of the “Further Development of

Civil Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia” project, along with the visibility plan and preliminary

design of the project web platform.

The meeting was opened by the Executive Director of the Center for Regionalism, Mr. Aleksandar

of the project council consist of determining the program orientation of the project, the framework

plan of activities for the current year and the evaluation of project results.

Following the introductory speech, the President of the Mother Teresa organization, Mr. Zef Shala,

presented the first component of the project working package titled “Supporting Joint Activities of

Youth CSOs from Kosovo and Serbia in the Area of Employment, Education, Environment and

Culture”. Mr. Shala briefly went through all of the working package activities, including the

development of the procurement plan, the public call for youth CSOs from Kosovo and Serbia

regarding joint activities in the areas of employment, education, environment and culture, the

establishment of the “youth CSO info booths” in Kosovo and Serbia, as well as the future

River Ibar.

Afterwards, The Executive Director of the Center for Regionalism, Mr. Aleksandar Popov,

Civil Dialogue in Multi-Ethnic Communities in Serbia and Kosovo”. On this occasion, Mr. Popov

stressed the importance of implementing an effective research of the position of youth, women and

ethnic minorities in both Kosovo and Serbia municipalities, in order to develop recommendations

for the improvement of their statuses. The recommendations would later be presented at

roundtables, during which the participants would also discuss the involvement of local institutions

and CSOs in the improvement of the position of the previously mentioned target groups.

The final segment of the meeting was focused on introducing the visibility plan and beta version of

the project web platform. The Associate for Maintaining the Project Web Platform, Mr. Dane

Pribic, stated that the website will contain different types of documents, such as existing local grant

calls, examples of youth CSO collaborations, as well as a special category on conducted project
