Invitation to participate
When the City of Živinice organised its visioning forum in October 2023, Alija Nurkić, advisor to the Mayor, opened the forum by saying; “For us, it's not just a symbolic countdown to midnight; it's already past midnight by five minutes. The BiH SuTra programme has proven to be important support, providing us with new skills and facilitating the exchange of vital experiences. This initiative perfectly aligns with our vision for the future, and we eagerly embrace the knowledge it offers, guiding us toward a sustainable and green tomorrow".
