Reflecting its continued commitment to community development and local empowerment, BRAVO has initiated a new partnership with the Municipality of Vogošća. On February 5, 2026, BRAVO Director Ismail Šehić met with Mayor Migdad Hasanović at the municipal headquarters to explore opportunities for integrating Vogošća into European Union-funded projects.
The meeting aimed to formally introduce the municipality to the wide range of EU funding mechanisms available to local governments. Special emphasis was placed on how these programs can support sustainable development, strengthen institutional capacities, and foster social and economic growth at the local level.
During the consultation, Director Šehić presented BRAVO’s ongoing projects and outlined their potential impact within the municipality. He emphasized that the European Commission provides a broad and diverse portfolio of funding opportunities designed to empower municipalities and encourage innovation through international cooperation.
These funding schemes are primarily administered by executive bodies such as the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). Through the management of flagship programs, including Erasmus+, Creative Europe, and the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme, EACEA provides the technical and financial framework that enables municipalities to participate in cross-border initiatives and implement impactful, EU-aligned projects.
At BRAVO, we are always glad to see the interest shown by institutions and local communities in development opportunities and international cooperation. The Municipality of Vogošća’s openness to new ideas and collaboration creates a strong foundation for future work together. BRAVO looks forward to turning these initial discussions into concrete projects that respond to local needs and bring practical benefits to the community.
As cooperation continues, we are excited about the projects that may develop in the coming period. We invite everyone to follow our future activities and updates as these ideas move forward.
