12 Dec Regional initiative Trees of friendship – 27.11.2025.
On Thursday, November 27th, the KROKODIL Association planted 20 elm trees in front of the “Jovan Ristić” elementary school in Borča, as part of the Friendship Tree initiative launched by the European Fund for the Balkans. Simultaneously, other local organizations also planted trees in their cities, contributing together to a better ecological footprint.
This activity holds special significance for us, as it builds on the planting from two years ago when we planted 50 saplings at the same location, which have successfully taken root and are now thriving.
We are glad that children enrolled in the school were with us, and their curiosity and proactivity brought additional energy, reminding us of the importance of providing young people the opportunity to see how the community cares for the space they grow up in.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported us, or contributed in any way to this initiative!
The countries of the Western Balkans have been facing the worst air quality in Europe for years, and citizens of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Serbia, and North Macedonia are equally exposed to harmful pollutants. This is precisely why the regional initiative Friendship Tree, carried out by the European Fund for the Balkans in partnership with organizations from all six economies in the region, brings communities together around one common action – planting trees as a symbol of cooperation, solidarity, and the fight for cleaner air.
The Trees of Friendship regional initiative is implemented by the European Fund for the Balkans in collaboration with the Eco Forum from Zenica, the Foundation for Development and Democracy from Sarajevo, the Institute for Environmental Territorial Management from Tirana, Karton Revolucija from Tuzla, Let’s Do It and Green Renaissance from Peja, Air from Skopje, OZON and KOD from Podgorica, the KROKODIL Association from Belgrade, and the Urban Development Association from Bor.
