All of them took place in Macedonia, in the programme region.
The meetings were attended by:

The experts’ surveys began immediately after accomplishment of the procurement procedure for provision of external expertise – respectively in November 2014 for the Bulgarian experts and in January 2015 for their Macedonian colleagues. The aim of the common meetings was to support the coordination between the experts and the coordination between the experts and the project teams.
The content and the structure of the reports were consulted by Petko Tzvetkov, Green Belt and Natura 2000 Coordinator for BBF and member of the MAB National Committee in Bulgaria and Despina Kitanova, expert in Biosphere reserves and member of the MAB National Committee in Macedonia.
