The project will strengthen cooperation with local providers, contribute to creating added value in tourism and encourage the sustainable development of the area. The completion of the project in 2028 coincides with an important anniversary \u2013 the 150th anniversary of Oton \u017dupan\u010di\u010d\u2019s birth.
