Municipality of Primošten
Primošten is a traditional Mediterranean small town situated in the
heart of the eastern Adriatic coast in the youngest EU member
country of Croatia. Primošten is widely known for its landscapes
with amazing beaches and a rich protected cultural and historic
heritage. Bike paths embracing the rural villages are perfect way to
explore the less known beauty of the hinterland: images of its
protected landscapes of vineyards and olive groves surrounded with
drywalls as reminder on hard past times and symbols of human
perseverance, fortitude and diligence are part of the UN
headquarters. However, as all the rural parts of Croatia, in spite of
being attractive even for foreign investors, Primošten faces a
challenge of youth drain, lack of balanced and sustainable
development of its coast and hinterland, and needs a more
innovative and participative development based on the principles,
values and objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive Europe
2020. Hence, our idea is to network with towns interested to
explore solutions and tools for more proactive democratic
engagement and civic participation in local development in a wider
EU perspective and to open perspectives of long-term citizen
exchange, mutual learning, cooperation and networking.
