Mutual discussions, exchange of experiences among EU and candidate and neighbouring countries as well as launching constructive initiatives are expected as direct outputs of the Conference. <br /> <br /> Excellencies from EU institutions, Ministries in charge of regional development in SEE, EU member states and other countries, as well as high-ranking officials, policy makers, practitioners, directors and executives from governmental and non-governmental organisations have been invited to share their vast knowledge and provide valuable contribution in reaching the Conference goals. Furthermore, key experts from universities, think-tanks, civil society and international organisations will also partake.<br /> <br /> It is important to highlight that this Conference is the first event of this type and magnitude organised in Serbia on the topic of regional development. The outputs and conclusions reached here will be largely incorporated in the long-term strategic planning documents of the country.<br /> <br />Moreover, we are witnessing the ever increasing importance of the debate on EU Cohesion policy post 2013 and the role of all European countries and regions in its proper and effective programming and implementation. The Conference will also contribute to this debate by providing options and potential solutions to the issues raised in the 5th Cohesion Report launched by the European Commission in November last year. </p> <p> More information about conference you can receive on the Web site of the Ministry: www.merr.gov.rs </p> http://klasteri.merr.gov.rs/en/Events/First-International-Cluster-Conference-in-Belgrade <p> First International Conference on Clusters in Serbia <b>“Clusters – challenges and possibilities for regional development”</b>, organized by the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, SMEE Department, was held on 10 March 2009 in Belgrade.
