held in Essaouira, Morocco, on 23-26 November 1997, and jointly organized
by UNESCO and Moroccan local and national authorities, UVO-ROSTE will provide
back up support to the following activities aimed at:

-
the signature in the presence of UNESCO specialists
and Moroccan Authorities of a series of bilateral agreements between some
of the involved Municipalities in order to promote concrete co-operative
efforts in the view of solving some of the problems previously indicated.
UVO-ROSTE was requested to act as a focal
point of the project in the Adriatic Region, and it is foreseen that, starting
from 1998, some concrete actions will be undertaken in this specific region
such as:
-
International on-site Seminar and Archaeological
expertise in Omisaij (Croatia);
