The authorities of the Interreg IPA Romania-Serbia Programme cordially invite you to celebrate Interreg Cooperation Day 2024 on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024, starting at 11:00 AM (Serbian time), at the historic Fetislam Fortress in Kladovo, Republic of Serbia.
This special event will highlight the spirit of Interreg cooperation and showcase the achievements of Romanian-Serbian projects funded by the European Union’s cross-border cooperation programmes. The recently restored Fetislam Fortress, brought to life with EU funding, offers a symbolic backdrop to celebrate the close collaboration between Romania and Serbia.
Event Highlights:
- Guided Tour of Fetislam Fortress: Guests can enjoy a free guided tour of the fortress, exploring its rich history and significance.
- Cross-border Projects Fair: Located in front of the Visitors’ Centre, the fair will present an exclusive look at innovative projects that are shaping the future of this vibrant cross-border region.
- Citizen Consultation: Looking ahead to the future beyond 2027, citizens are invited to participate in a consultation, providing a platform to voice their ideas and visions for the region.
- Cultural Performances: In celebration of the strong cultural ties between Romanians and Serbians, youth from both sides of the border will perform traditional dances: the Danubius and Polet dance ensembles.
- Live Concert: The day will end with a music concert by the popular Pretty Loud Band, an emerging girl group that has captivated audiences in recent years.
Interreg Cooperation Day is celebrated annually around September 21st as part of a pan-European campaign, facilitated by Interact and implemented by Interreg Programmes and their partners. The campaign aims to bring cross-border cooperation closer to the public, highlighting the benefits it brings to local communities.
This year’s theme, “European Union Values Overcoming Borders,” invites us to reflect on the impact of borders and the strides made to remove barriers to travel, study, live, and work freely across Europe. These efforts play a crucial role in empowering citizens and strengthening ties across the continent.
Join us for a day of celebration, reflection, and future-focused thinking as we mark another milestone in European cooperation!
