British Embassy in Zagreb is inviting organizations across Croatia to submit project proposals on activities strengthening peace, security, and governance.
Themes

- Under that theme, they would welcome bids for cross-border or cross-community projects; projects involving the media, or in the information sector; sports, arts or entrepreneurship; projects promoting shared values such as open societies, human rights, democracy, and post-conflict reconciliation; projects that preferably – but not necessarily – address or involve young people.
Project Bid Guidance
