ECOCENTER
The Ecocenter was established in 2007 within the framework of the Partnership for Ecopolicy project, implemented with the financial support of the PHARE Program. It works as a focus point providing awareness-raising, coordination, and collaboration in all regional ecological problems. The Ecocenter performs the following activities:
Registers citizens’ calls signalling ecological problems or events and informs citizens and institutions about the environmental situation in the region;
Organises on-site visits to areas where environmental abnormalities have been detected by citizens and experts;
Collects, processes and analyses ecological data, provided by the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Waters, Regional Inspectorate for Public Health Protection and Control, municipalities and other sources, about the environmental situation in the region;
Initiates and organises public discussions and workshops on environmental impact analyses and assessment of particular sites of public interest;
Produces and distributes information bulletins;
Develops and assists in developing ecological projects.
