Interim Report, No 3, 19 September 2011 – 18 March 2012
A series of presentations have been given by the team leader and RENA team members on RENA
and its envisaged activities in various frameworks including RCC, IMPEL, EF Project and IFIs.
Short summaries of the findings have been included in the 3 rd and 4 th newsletter.
2.5 Steering Committee
The third Steering Committee meeting was held on 14 October 2011 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The
objective of the meeting was to discuss and approve the second Interim Report covering the period
March 2011 – September 2011. The minutes of this meeting are included in Annex 3. The Steering
Committee meetings are held every six months in one of the beneficiary countries. The fourth
Steering Committee meeting is scheduled to be held on 02 April 2012 in Durres, Albania.
2.6 Involvement of NGO community
The system for cooperation with Environment Forum project and inclusion of NGO
representatives has been established during the Inception Phase. The established system has been
followed until February 2012 when the Environment Forum project has been finalised. Based on
the agreement with the European Commission, the coordination will continue using the officially
appointed NGO Coordination Team composed of Mr. Zvezdan Kalmar, Mr. Miodrag Dakic, Mr.
Metodija Sazdov and Mr. Gazmend Zeneli. The overall correspondence related to the cooperation
of RENA and NGO sector is addressed to the NGO Coordination Team, who further process the
information provided and deals with the related issues. The system for participation of NGO
representatives to RENA events remains the same. The NGO representatives are invited to every
regional event organised under various activities of RENA. As per agreed procedure for
participation, the NGO Coordination Team is informed on upcoming events and activities under
RENA well in advance and based on the activity description the NGO Coordination Team is
nominating a NGO representative relevant for certain activity and topic. Due to budget limitations
and the fact that NGOs are not the main beneficiaries of the RENA project the attention is paid to
selection of those NGOs whose geographic location will involve the least costs for participation to
be covered by RENA. However, it should be noted that this is not the prime criteria and that the
selection is made primarily based on expertise and field of interest, taking geographic location only
as an advantage.
