Dear Snjezana,  Thank you for the explanation about the consortium.  Generally speaking, in my opinion, you should seek partners who have already experiences and relationships with Bosnia and Herzegovina, or who would like to have connections with BIH in the sectors of your interest. One of the fundamental peculiarities should be their potential ability to involve the administrative structures in order to create consensus on the project based on their technical and political references.  Hoping to help you in some way, I wish you all the best, remaining at your disposal.  Best regards,  Massimo

Dear Snjezana , I really appreciated your message and the details you have provided to share with me . Thank you very much for your interest and your availability. I worked with Bih for a long time , especially when the war was still present in the minds and perception of the Balkans people . I still have friends there , even though they are not involved in EU Programs at all . On the other hand , the entire world has been undergone through radical changes which involve almost any country . Admittedly, I found that Balkans countries, especially those that are not part of political EU, are keeping similar attitudes and visions that I have known while working directly with them . I always felt well in these countries , now as well , that I live and work in Tirana for over 6 years , by deciding to definitively move here . About your question : I’m not sure having grasped the meaning of your request ; I’m used to analyze the strategies in order to build consortium. I think I am in a position to give you some advice, but I need to learn more . The composition of the partnership is very sensitive and crucial ; therefore , the specific directions of your projects need to be very clear to me to better aim at the best way you are looking for . I see you prefer CBC programs , however there are , in addition , hundreds of other options available that I will be delight to explain you . Anyway , CBC ways are very interesting and they directly envolve your territory, and that is very important . With no commitment, we could set up a video call , if you desire , to share and discuss more in depth mutual information and goals . Let me know please , and thank you again . All the best , Massimo
