The pupils of the "Gornja Jablanica" Primary School in Medveđa in warm school this winter

More than 300 students of the Primary School "Gornja Jablanica" in Medveđa now have better conditions for education after the renovation of the school, which was built more than four decades ago. The old carpentry was fully replaced with the European Union support of  more than 150,000 Euros extended  through the EU PRO Plus programme, which is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of European Integration. 

With better conditions for learning and work, warm classrooms and a new look of the school, the energy efficiency of the buildings has been improved by 30 percent, which will contribute to reducing the amount of energy and savings in the local budget.

The project in Medveđa is one of 39 local infrastructure projects in the regions of Šumadija and Western Serbia and Southern and Eastern Serbia that the European Union supports through the EU PRO Plus programme with more than six million Euros in order to improve the quality of life of people through the renovation and reconstruction of educational, health and social care institutions, sports and cultural facilities, as well as the improvement of communal services and public administration buildings.
