Bilateral cooperation results

In addition to creating institutional ties with natural partners in the field of protection and management of cultural heritage, the promoter's more than four-year cooperation with the DPPs brought an exchange of experiences with advocacy in the field of cultural monuments management. The DPPs really helped with the setting up of some specific activities of the project - they provided Norwegian experience in the creation and distribution of local products, which are provided to visitors as an additional service when visiting the museum and the site of the monastery complex as such.
