The cooperation between municipality Stari Gra and Mamk, among other things, would be based on the realization of projects of mutual interest in the area of economy, culture, education, tourism, sport, as well as environmental protection and cultural heritage.
The aim of the protocol is the promotion of all cultural, social and human ties between the two peoples in the framework of their historical affiliation, and the strengthening of historical, cultural, scientific, industrial, trade, technical, artistic, health, sports and touristic ties between Stari Grad and Mamak.
