The only lifelong, sure motivations are those that come from within, and the strongest of them are the joy and pride that grow when you received recognition that you did something good in a year that despite the difficult circumstances the staff of the Center for Development of the Southeast Planning Region worked intensively on each field.

On 13.09.2021 the Minister of Local Self-Government Mr. Goran Milevski to the Director of the Center for Development of the Southeast Planning Region Ms. Julieta Gjurkova through the Project "Sustainable Inclusive Balanced Regional Development" presented the RECOGNITION of the Center for Regional Development cooperation with the business community and academia at the regional level in 2020.

The selection was made by ranking the regions in 8 categories. Although the Center for Development of the Southeast Planning Region has shown excellent results in many categories and areas, it was still decided by the Commission to receive recognition in the Category - Intensive Cooperation with the business community and academia at the regional level in the past year.

The Regional Business Center within the Center for Development of the Southeast Planning Region in the past 2020 worked intensively and will continue to work with the same intensity and even greater motivation to encourage the regional business climate and support small and medium enterprises in the region, capacity building companies in the region and will continue to create a climate for the development of sustainable and profitable businesses.
