  5. Results • Municipal inter-entity cooperation strengthened through signing joint MoU • Reduced number of illegal wild dumps on the Drina River Banks (in project region) by 10% through organization of joint cleaning actions • 75 pupils educated through 3 joint workshops (in three different municipalities) focused on importance of cleanliness and water quality of the Drina River • Improved cleanliness of Drina River Banks in project region through organization of joint cleaning actions and placing garbage metal cans (80 pieces) on the banks and schoolyards • Citizen’s inter-entity relationships improved through participation on joint cleaning actions and other project promotional events (kick-off and Closing Event) • Raised citizens and students awareness through participation on workshop and delivering promotional materials and TV reportage on water quality (leaflets 5.000, 1 TV Reportage, 120 T-shirts). The leaflet provided information to help residents, stakeholders, and policy makers understand the complex issues around improving water quality, find out what Ecology is doing to clean up our waters, and help each person learn what they can do to help keep our rivers clean.
