The vision of reviving villages by making them hospitable places for inhabitants and tourists by boosting economic and social opportunities rests at the core of the Grant Scheme and the “100+ villages Programme”. The awarded projects will contribute to making this vision tangible for the 10 selected villages under the Grant Scheme on Regional Development and Cohesion.

During the visits, meetings were held with representatives of Municipalities and many issues on project implementation were discussed such as: challenges for management of the project, completion of technical projects and successful finalization within the deadline of the Grant Scheme. Municipalities which have been awarded a grant are strongly committed to ensure good results and impact by considering these initiatives highly relevant to the development of the local and regional area and, to the encouragement of local communities to invest and make use of the projects’ results.
