NGO Green Home, in cooperation with the Public Utility Company Ulcinj, organized an international conference in Ulcinj titled \u201cChallenges and Solutions in the Fight for a Plastic-Free Sea.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference focused on the urgent need for a change in the approach of management bodies, while simultaneously involving local communities, with the ultimate goal of reducing the generation of marine litter. Given its international character, the event served as a valuable opportunity for sharing successful experiences, which will be crucial for future activities in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hussem Hamdi, a leading environmental activist and initiator of numerous initiatives in Tunisia, shared his experiences, along with Panagiota Koutsofta and Philippos Drousiotis from the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative, who presented a series of activities implemented in Cyprus to reduce plastic waste. Milo\u0161 Grbovi\u0107, founder of the start-up company 3D soba<\/em>, which produces benches and other items from recycled plastic, presented his experience with recycling efforts in Montenegro. Jelena Peruni\u010di\u0107 showcased GIZ\u2019s Low Plastic Zone<\/em> initiative, which was implemented in previous years in the region and initially launched in Ulcinj, along with several other activities conducted by this organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portion of the conference was dedicated to the legislative framework and practical challenges in its implementation in Montenegro. Speakers included Danilo Velji\u0107 from the Environmental Protection Agency, Ana Kopitovi\u0107 from Deponija d.o.o. Podgorica, Milena Rmu\u0161 from the Chamber of Commerce, and Zenepa Lika from the Dr Martin Schneider Jacoby Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final conference panel addressed the prevention of plastic pollution in a regional context, featuring presentations by Tea Kuzmi\u010di\u0107 from the Sunce Association (Croatia), Danijela Mane from the Institute for Nature Conservation (INCA) in Albania, and Valentina Gagi\u0107 from REC Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference was organized as part of the initiative Strengthening Awareness and Education<\/em> within the MARICES project: Marine Awareness, Recycling, Innovation through Community Engagement and Solutions<\/em>. The project received indirect funding from the European Union\u2019s research and innovation program\u2014Horizon Europe\u2014through the Horizon Europe Framework Program, issued and implemented under the REMEDIES project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
