First we were warmly welcomed by the mayor prof dr Darko TOMAŠ who presented some of the "secrets" to the extraordinary success of entrepreneurship stimulations in this city. Very pleasant curiosity was the story on 13 nationalities living in this city especially for Italian guests who learned that there is even an Italian village in Prnjavor, where a 19th century dialect is spoken, not existing in Italy anymore. 🍡 Through the thorough presentation about the entrepreneurship 🏆 success in Prnjavor, we could see what a young person with adequate knowledge and the right team can do for the community. Prof Tomaš is not only a mayor, he is also one of the favorite professors at the Faculty of Economics, University of Banja Luka, our coordinating institution. His handling of numbers impressed our guests and students.
