Euromontana was invited by INTERREG IVB Green Mountain partners to participate in their networking meeting in Budapest on 24th of September. The aim was to discuss potential cooperation for the future and especially the
idea to install a South-Eastern Europe Platform within Euromontana to work specifically on the needs and projects of this area of Europe which faces particular challenges and opportunities. The discussion allowed both sides to get to know one another better, setting the ground for fruitful cooperation in the future.
A working group will be created very soon assembling representatives from Green Mountain Partnership and representatives from Euromontana to start working on a draft Memorandum of Understanding defining the missions, structure and operative rules of this new platform. An on-line forum for discussion should also be created soon
to allow all members to interact.
The Board of Directors meeting on the 26 of September has also decided to invite Green Mountain Partners to the General assembly to speed up cooperation and try to achieve results right away for mountain people in South-Eastern Europe.
A group shall discuss these issues at the General Assembly on November 6th.
