For the third year in a row, Centre for European Perspective offers its support to the young entrepreneurs from Bosnia and Herzegovina and youngsters with entrepreneurial ideas, who want to develop and launch their projects. In order to do so, we organize a call for applications in cooperation with the leading regional start up conference PODIM, that takes place every May in Maribor, Slovenia.
The call helps us select the best entrepreneurial ideas and pitches and we offer 20 young entrepreneurs (the members of the teams and their mentors) the transportation to the conference, accommodation and the ticket to the PODIM Conference. We widen their knowledge about entrepreneurship and give them an insight into the process of development of the project from the initial idea to the launch, we offer them an opportunity to meet potential investors and last but not least, the entrepreneurs with the same mindset from the whole Alps-Adriatic region.
Following the PODIM Conference, the participants will visit Centre for European Perspective at Grad Jable, where a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will explain more about the Slovenian foreign policy efforts in the Balkan region and the EU-wide Positive Agenda for Youth that recognizes youth in the Balkan region as essential actors in regional cooperation, friendship and reconciliation. Their visit in Slovenia will conclude with a peek into the Slovenian start-up environment and co-working scene at the ABC Accelerator in Ljubljana. The good practices from Slovenia will help transmit one of the key messages of the project – cooperation leads first to small changes in the start-up environment, but not giving up and raising the voice of youth can lead to the system-wide reforms.
Youngsters have to present their entrepreneurial idea in the application, that is reviewed by the expert commission. Since we realized during the previous years that the presentations of the ideas and the pitches could be prepared even better, we decided to organize a startup workshop, where our participants get to know the call for applications and PODIM conference. The workshop, where the young entrepreneurs also get the opportunity to prepare a preliminary presentation and get the immediate feedback from their colleagues and our experts, will take placeon Wednesday, March 22, 2017, in Networks Sarajevo, Sarajevo, BiH.

The project is part of our program activities, financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Republic of Slovenia in the framework of Slovenia’s development cooperation.
Spodbujanje podjetništva med mladimi v BiH
CEP že tretje leto nudi podporo mladim bosanskim podjetnikom in mladim s podjetniškimi idejami, ki bi radi svoje ideje razvijali, nadgrajevali. V ta namen v sodelovanju z vodilno regionalno start up konferenco PODIM, ki poteka vsako leto meseca maja v Mariboru, organiziramo natečaj, preko katerega izberemo najboljše podjetniške ideje in predstavitve. 20 mladim podjetnikom (članom ekip in njihovim mentorjem) bomo tako omogočili prevoz, namestitev in vstopnico za konferenco PODIM. Tako razširjamo njihovo znanje o podjetniških korakih, jim ponudimo možnost srečanja s potencialnimi investitorji in nenazadnje, z enako mislečimi iz celotne regije Alpe-Adria.
Po konferenci PODIM bodo udeleženci obiskali tudi Center za evropsko prihodnost na gradu Jable, kjer jim bo predstavnik Ministrstva za zunanje zadeve RS povedal več o slovenskih prizadevanjih na področju zunanje politike na Balkanu in o Pozitivni agendi za mlade, ki na nivoju Evropske unije prepoznava mlade na Balkanu kot ključne akterje pri regionalnem sodelovanju, prijateljstvu in spravi. Njihov obisk v Sloveniji se bo zaključil z vpogledom v slovensko start-up okolje in sodelo (co-working) v ABC pospeševalniku v Ljubljani. Dobre prakse iz Slovenije bodo pomagale prenašati eno izmed ključnih sporočil projekta – sodelovanje najprej vodi do majhnih sprememb znotraj start-up okolja, vztrajnost in angažiranost mladih pa lahko vodita do širših reform na sistemski ravni.
Mladi morajo za prijavo na natečaj oddati predstavitev svoje podjetniške ideje, ki jih nato pregleda strokovna komisija. Ker smo v preteklih letih zaznali, da bi lahko mladi predstavitve pripravili še bolje, organiziramo delavnico, kjer bodo mladi izvedeli vse o natečaju, konferenci in na svojo predstavitev dobili takojšen komentar strokovnjakov in kolegov. Delavnica bo potekala v sredo, 22. marca 2017, v Sarajevu v prostorih Networks Sarajevo, prijava je možna na povezavi tukaj.

Uspešno testiranje testne aplikacije za spremljanje finančnih tokov javne uprave Republike Srbije
V okviru projekta Mednarodnega razvojnega sodelovanja Republike Slovenije z Republiko Srbijo, katerega nosilec na srbski strani je Agencija za boj proti korupciji, je uspešno izdelana testna aplikacija za spremljanje finančnih tokov javne uprave. Demonstracija testne aplikacije je potekala v Srbiji v času med 20. – 22. decembrom 2016, ko so predstavniki javne uprave Republike Srbije aplikacijo tudi testirali na praktičnih primerih, ki so jih pripravili in vodili slovenski strokovnjaki iz IT področja in Nacionalnega preiskovalnega urada/Policije Republike Slovenije.
Predstavniki javne uprave Republike Srbije so izrazili zadovoljstvo nad karakteristikami razvite testne aplikacije in potrdili, da gre za učinkovito a hkrati enostavno orodje, ki lahko lajša in poenostavlja njihovo delo ob hkratnem doseganju boljših delovnih rezultatov, za katere je potrebno porabiti manj časa in denarja. V delavnici so udeleženci ugotavljali, kako bi testno aplikacijo dopolnili tako, da bi bila še koristnejša za različne namene in pristojnosti. Koristne predloge za optimizacijo aplikacije so imeli predstavniki Agencije za boj proti korupciji, Agencije za poslovne registre, Ministrstva za državno upravo in lokalno samoupravo – Direkcije za elektronsko upravo, Ministrstva za notranje zadeve, Državne revizorske institucije, Uprave za preprečevanja pranja denarja, Uprave za javne nabave, Zaštitnik građana in drugi.
Projekt v letu 2017 prehaja v tretjo fazo, ko se bo z razvojem aplikacije nadaljevalo: ob vključevanju vseh deležnikov javne uprave Republike Srbije bodo uporabljene ugotovitve testne delavnice, optimizirane bodo funkcije in vsebina aplikacije, dodajale se bodo baze podatkov in druge aktivnosti, potrebne za dokončno izdelavo aplikacije.
Projekt je del programskih aktivnosti, ki jih financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje, izvaja pa se v sodelovanju z Upravo Republike Slovenije za javna plačila, slovenskim IT podjetjem ZZI, Ministrstvom za notranje zadeve in Policijo Republike Slovenije.

Izmenjava izkušenj Slovenije in Makedonije o medinstitucionalnem sodelovanju pri preiskovanju korupcije
V Makedoniji je od 5. – 7. decembra 2016 potekala delavnica, v okviru katere je Slovenija izmenjevala izkušnje z makedonskimi organi odkrivanja in pregona na temo krepitve medinstitucionalnega sodelovanje v boju proti korupciji. Pri izvedbi projekta je sodelovalo Ministrstvo za notranje zadeve, Policija in Specializirano državno tožilstvo Republike Slovenije.
Delo je potekalo skozi razpravo in analizo konkretnih primerov, s pomočjo katerih sta makedonska in slovenska stran ugotavljale, kakšne razlike glede medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja v boju proti korupciji obstajajo v zakonodaji, izvajanju zakonodaje, pristopih in organizaciji in katere izkušnje velja uporabiti, da bi sodelovanje pri preiskovanju korupcije bilo uspešnejše. Udeleženci so se strinjali, da za krepitev medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja ni boljšega načina kot so skupna usposabljanja državnih organov, ki sodelujejo v boju proti korupciji in da je bila delavnica, ki je namenila posebno pozornost vprašanjem sodelovanja, še posebej dobra priložnost, da se naredi kakšen konkreten korak za izboljšave tega sodelovanja.

Predstavitev celovite analize nacionalnih zmogljivosti za vzpostavitev morebitnega medresorskega centra za usposabljanje policistov ter vojaških in civilnih oseb za sodelovanje v mednarodnih operacijah in misijah Združenih narodov ministrici za obrambo
V prostorih ministrstva za obrambo je v sredo, 30. novembra 2016, potekala predstavitev celovite analize nacionalnih zmogljivosti za vzpostavitev morebitnega medresorskega centra za usposabljanje policistov ter vojaških in civilnih oseb za sodelovanje v mednarodnih operacijah in misijah (MOM) Združenih narodov.
Na predstavitvi je bila poleg članov medresorske delovne skupine (MDS) prisotna ministrica za obrambo ga. Andreja Katič, vodja kabineta mag. Petra Culetto, generalni direktor direktorata za obrambno politiko mag. Aleš Mišmaš, ter vodja sektorja za mednarodne operacije in misije ga. Nataša Dolenc Lisec.
Celovito analizo je v okviru svojega mandata pripravila medresorska delovna skupina, ki obsega pregled vseh in primerljivih nacionalnih programov, ki izvajajo usposabljanja policistov ter vojaških in civilnih oseb za sodelovanje v MOM ZN, Nata in EU, naredila primerjavo sistemov usposabljanja in izvajalcev programov v ZN, Nato in EU ter v izbranih evropskih državah ter analizo pravnih, kadrovskih, finančnih, tehničnih in drugih zmogljivosti za oblikovanje morebitnih skupnih organizacijskih oblik sodelovanja vojske, policije in civilnih subjektov. V zaključku analize je podala predlog za ustanovitev IPOTC (Interministerial Peace Operations Training Centre), ki bi glede na skupne cilje in koristi za MORS, MNZ in MZZ, temeljil tudi na izpolnjevanju pravic, dolžnosti in obveznosti, ki jih ima Slovenija kot članica ZN in drugih mednarodnih organizacij.
Predlog ustanovitve IPOTC je ministrica ocenila kot pomemben premik naprej. Od prvih slovenskih napotitev na mednarodne misije in operacije bo prihodnje leto namreč minilo 20 let.
