dialogue with the candidate countries and<br />

potential candidates.<br />

priorities, the project envisages tasks across<br />

several sectors, involves large number of<br />

stakeholders from different countries. The<br />

project is also well coordinated with other<br />

regional settings, initiatives and national<br />

communication tools to provide a hub for<br />

information, composed of RENA website,<br />

databases of projects and outputs, extranet<br />

newsletters, all in line with the EC visibility<br />

guidelines.<br />
