Published on Tuesday, 20 December 2016 09:23

FORS Montenegro started implementation of a new project DIRECT – DIsaster REsilient Communities and Towns funded by the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) of the European Commission. The project has the aim to improve preparedness of local communities, institutions and services for more efficient response to a growing number of natural and man-made hazards. A very important segment of the project is international cooperation in this area which will lead to exchange of experiences and good practice models and which will be realised throughout the project as it is implemented in partnership with services from Slovenia and the Czech Republic. The partner from Montenegro is the Directorate for Emergency Management of the Ministry of Interior of Montenegro.
