Among the priority tasks is also the improvement of the cooperation between the protected areas and local self-governments, as well as stakeholders associations in terms of fulfilment of their tasks which are related to the protection of environment and sustainable development.
Parks Dinarides – network of the protected areas of Dinarides especially supports:

  • The policy aimed at improvement and development of the protected areas;

Initiative to form a regional alliance of protected areas in the territory of the Dinaric Arc countries is one of the results arising from the project “Dinaric Arc Parks”. The implementer of this project was WWF. Also, in December 2013, the countries of the Dinaric Arc signed an agreement called the Big Win II, in Budva (Montenegro), which is a continuation of the previous Big Win agreement that was reached in 2008, at the ninth CBD Conference in Bonn (Germany). By the official adoption of the document in Budva on 2 December 2013, the countries signatories, and their relevant ministries committed themselves to work together to strengthen the planning process in the protection of nature, and on valorization of the economic value of their natural resources, and based on these values work to strengthen models for sustainable financing of protected areas in the region and joint work on the overall improvement of protected areas in the Dinaric Arc region. This document was signed, with the mediation of the WWF and IUCN, by ministers and representatives of ministries in charge of the area of environment of the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo*, Macedonia, Slovenia and Serbia.
