Inter-party cooperation to promote tourism in Rugova

12.05.2021

Inter-party cooperation for various issues aside political ideological differences is very important in building and empowering democratic values.

During the months of March and April 2021, the young representatives of different political subjects in Peja got together to cooperate in developing and implementing an idea that would help their community in Peja. During many meetings that the group held were discussed different ideas that would have positive impact for the community of Peja, and in the end it was decided that promoting the tourism of Rugova region is important and useful for the Municipality of Peja and citizens that live in that region. To promote the culture of Rugova region, a leaflet was produced with a map of key touristic and resting places, information about traditional food that are served by the restaurants in that area, as well as information about the traditional clothing of communities that live in those mountains area.

During the weekend, on May 9th, members of the group organized a street action in Peja, Prizren, and Pristina to hand out leaflets and inform citizens of these cities about the tourism options that Rugova region has to offer, thus aiming to increase the mountain tourism in these beautiful areas of Peja.

This mini-project was implemented as part of the “Ideas for Change” activity in the framework of “Youth representation with political integrity” project, with financial support from National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
