Cross-border co-operation agreement between the two networks has been signed. The network includes 51 members from both countries and its presidency will alternate between UPIP Zepce and SIMORA Sisak on annual basis. 2. The project established two new buiness operators in Kladanj and Kresevo (BiH). 3. Improved knowledge and skills of target groups and beneficiaries in the project area was ensured through the organisation of 39 workshops for 780 participants, including specialised trainings for producers, collectors and processors of medicinal and aromatic plants, branding marketing and e-business. Educational brochure "Guide for export to the EU" was developed. 4. MAP sector stakeholders capacities strengthened through application of marketing tools and greater representation of the MAP network products on the market.
