PA.CON, in 2018, for the first time gathered all relevant partners from the CBC region whose goal was to contribute to the development of sustainable tourism in the target region, by using and activating unused natural resources and goods related to ornitho-fauna. Three natural goods were improved in MoN, CoT and Skadar lake and 163 target groups representatives were educated and results achieved were above targeted goals which is a result of successful cooperation between partners. PA.CON was completed during January 2023 and the project partners have maintained communication and soon after began analysing previous project and creating a new project proposal in order to upgrade the existing one and create new tourist content.

Also, the processes around information exchange during project execution were standardised as well for project activities, making reports towards contracted authorities and organisation of different events.
