The project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Europe programme, which supports interregional cooperation and helps public institutions across Europe develop better policies. Each participating city is required to organise a three-day seminar. The first two were held in Veszpr\u00e9m and Leeuwarden, while after Novi Sad, the next seminar will take place in Chemnitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: Vladimir Veli\u010dkovi\u0107<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The key results of the \u201cNovi Sad \u2013 European Capital of Culture\u201d project \u2014 international cooperation, urban transformation, decentralisation of culture, strengthening of the cultural sector, responsible budget management, economic development, and sustainable legacy \u2014 were presented during a project meeting held within the framework of the international ECoC Echo project.
