The project “Town of Miners” was presented to the visitors of 10th International Fair of Environment and Natural Resources "ECOFAIR 2013" and the 9th International Energy Fair that was held at the Belgrade Fair from October 9th to 12th. Both events involved the most important companies and institutions in Serbia in these areas and promoted the partecipants as regional energy, ecology  and environmental leaders in South Eastern Europe.



Speakers who presented the Senjski Rudnik case, repeated that this was the project with great  importance for positioning Serbia on the tourist map of Europe, and the first in the Western Balkans that dealt with the rehabilitation of industrial heritage. They emphasized that „Town of Miners“ has potencial to become a leading regional heritage center. 

Present environmentalists were impressed with the fact that this project will ensure regeneration and basis for a sustainable future for Senjski Rudnik and its population. The town that represents an early industrial society, for sure will be one of the most favorite places to visit. The site is interesting not only for industrial history fans from all around the world, but also for all enthusiasts dedicated to protection of the environment and important places for future generations.
