On 28 June Aluksne Municipality signed the grant contract with the Managing Authority of the Programme to implement the project “630 Versts Full of Feelings”! Actual implementation of the project was started well before signing the grant contract – on the 15th of May.
By implementing a variety of activities the project strengthens historical and cultural capacity of the cross-border area and contributes to socio-economic development of Vidzeme and Latgale (Latvia), and Pskov region and St Petersburg (Russia).
