Main Issues Financial situation: what to do and how to implement the activities? Any solutions? Legal action to protect ourselves? Can partners somehow help each other and the project? Prolongation: are we all on the track to prolong it? Financial issues to be included in the reasons for prolongation? Any responses yet? WP3 and WP4 outputs in electronic form for WP5?

Conclusion If there will be no financial issues and prolongation is approved, the WP5 and all other connected packages may be successfully completed Additional impact can be achieved if the cash-flow is improved for Healthy city, Adriatic Social Observatory and Cluster CEDRA Split (e.g. additional social enterprises to be founded as a part of the project outputs in Croatia, including a regional social tourism brand) Financial and prolongation issues have to be concluded ASAP in order to prevent further complications
