The subject of the meeting was the selection of civil society organisations which have expressed an interest in involvement in the project activities (training, monitoring, work  in the local platforms), and the contents of the training on good governance and anti-discrimination that will take place at the end of May 2015 in the city of Zagreb.

It was agreed that  the meetings with selected CSOs in six cities (Osijek, Beli Manastir, Slavonski Brod, Nova Gradiska, Pakrac and Lipik) will be held in the coming days in order to introduce  them with wide range of planned project activities, exchange the information about prospective local policies/strategies/action plans (related to target groups such as disabled persons, youth and children, national minorities, Roma people, women) and identify a preliminary list of potential participants.

The meetings with the representatives of the local governments and representatives of the public institutions in these towns will be held in April  in order to encourage them to participate in training, monitoring, and the work of local platforms.
