NEXPO 2011 in Sarajevo was the rst municipal fair of South EastEurope. It was a great success towards the regional networking,

promoting decentralized cooperation, regional businesses and

building peace and stability.

Featuring the right topics, the right opinion leaders and participation

from all countries in South East Europe and beyond, NEXPO 2011

positioned as the central 2011 event for the local governments of

the region.

Numerous international organizations recognized the importance of

this event and gave their support, too.

I have learned that we can apply

in Burkina [Faso] a similar approach

as NALAS in the organization of such

an event. It was important for me to

come to share and talk about issues

like e-governance, where I learned was

that it is important to build capacities of

authorities at local levels before we ask the

national level to support them. Additionally,

before we transform our local governmentsinto e-governments, there is a need for

working rst on issues like education,

internet access and also access to

electricity.

NEXPO generated a lot of contacts, know-how, investors and promotion for the regions.

There was an atmosphere of European membership and a drive to improve the municipalities.

Municipality of Bratunac is famous as the most important

place of raspberry production in Bosnia and Herzegovina

and through this fair we aim to promote the production of the

raspberries, but also the agricultural production in general in

our municipality.

The important thing is that with NEXPO 2011 we put a landmark of friendship and cooperation between all municipalities in theregion

Vladimir Moskov, President of NALAS (Nexpo archive)

I personally think and hope that this event contributed to Europes true understanding of the situation on the Balkans when the locallevel is in question

Vesna Travljanin. Executive Director, SOGFBiH (Nexpo archive)

The Hague Academy was impressed with the organisation and was honoured to meet different representatives of local governance inSouth Eastern Europe. We are delighted that new connections were made, and look forward to fruitful cooperation in the future.

The Hague Academy for Local Governance(http://www.thehagueacademy.nl/nc/news/news-articles/the-hague-academy-at-nexpo-2011/)

One of the things I learned from the NEXPO conferences was on the issue of energy efciency and local governance. Municipalitiesare committing themselves to become energy efcient...I have seen that there are different ways in which a municipality can be activein energy efciency issues using local resources.

Aurelia Ciornei, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (Nexpo archive)

It is very important to communicate, to nd the joint interests and to nd the joint opportunities so we can become that real modernand efcient service to our citizens

Mayor of Cazin, Mr.Ogreevic for an interview for Sarajevo television (Nexpo archive)

In an atmosphere full of humanity and enthusiasm ... 21 new cities of the area committed themselves and 10 associations of localauthorities became Supporters of the Covenant of Mayors.
