    successful tradition in production of berry fruits. This project involves expanding of
    the berry fruits plantation, start-up of the facilities for berry processing
    (raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries), and production of the mushy berry
    juice (app. 1 000 litres per month). The long term goal of the project is processing
    of the berry fruits up to 15 tons monthly. It is also possible to provide hail

    FRUIT AND VEGETABLE COLD STORAGE, TESLIC

    This project proposes building a fruit and vegetable cold storage facility that would
    include the area for receipt of goods, their refrigeration, classing, and freezing up
    to -35°С (freezing raspberries requires procurement of the so-called shock- tunnels
    for fast freezing). The potential investor would be supported by the Municipality in
    the implementation of activities by incentive funds for employment of new
    workers in the built facility. Also, the municipality will assist in establishing
    cooperative relations between the investor and producers in the territory of the
    municipality. If the investor decides to build in a business zone, they will benefit
    from the developed infrastructure and land. If they decide to build the facility in
    one of the existing community centres, the municipality will be actively involved in
    the selection of location and resolution of property ownership issues.

    KULA WATER FACTORY, MOKRO-PALE

    production cost of the one bottle (including raw materials, labour costs, overhead
    expenses, etc.) would be 0.13 €. Taking into account the already established
    contacts with customers where the proposed price of the purchase is between
    0.22 and 0.28 € per bottle, this project is fully financially justified.

    and extremely resistant to the various conditions of keeping. They are kept
    outdoors all year round and do not use the barn. The cows are not milked, and all
