Forest education builds bridges in Balkans
Forest education is building bridges in the Balkans in the shape of an international forest policy course in Belgrade, Serbia. The
course is part of a larger master’s degree programme on forest policy
and economics, being implemented by the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade
in co-operation with the respective faculties in Albania, Macedonia and
Bosnia-Herzegovina. More than 20 students from Albania, Serbia and four other western Balkans countries took part in the course. One of the aims is to train future leaders for the changing society and forest sector in the region.
