Achievements (EN):

The main results of this project were as follows: • Agreement for the fire and natural disasters prevention, mitigation, and control established between the forest fire Brigades (Nikšić and Trebinje), the municipalities of Nikšić and Trebinje, and the target population in the cross-border area. • Improved performance of fire brigades in Trebinje and Nikšić. • Local population in the cross-border area familiarised with preventative actions against fires. • Integrated Plan for Fire and Natural Disasters Management in the cross-border area between the municipalities of Nikšić and Trebinje prepared and adopted. The project has been rated highly on all aspects of good practice, especially in its cross-border dimension and impact, innovative nature, strong dissemination and sustainability. The sustainability of the project builds on the agreement on fire prevention in the border zone and the integrated plan for fires and natural disasters management which were developed and adopted as part of the project. Based on these two strategic documents the two fire fighting units have kept carrying out key activities, including educational lectures in local communities and schools and cross-border training.
