Within the project GReENERGY (Greening the cities – Development, and promotion of energy efficiency and sustainable urban environment in the cities of Croatia-Serbia cross-border region) two workshops were organized in Osijek and Novi Sad.
On 24 March 2021 virtual workshop was held in Osijek with more than 90 participants. The purpose of this workshop was to answer the following question to the general public: What is the sustainable urban environment and how Osijek and Novi Sad are becoming good regional examples of the implementation of energy-efficient measures and renewable energy sources?
