In order to promote a balanced regional development, the municipalities of the Spodnje Podravje region have authorised SRC Bistra Ptuj for the execution of tasks according to the Promotion of Balanced Regional Development Act – ZSRR-2 (Ur. l. RS, No. 20/2011, 57/2012) and its regulatory provisions.

In the Spodnje Podravje region, SRC Bistra Ptuj is involved in common developmental activities in the public interest, and in coordinating the region’s efforts on the local and national level, thus representing a constant partner and mediator between ministries, government organisations, municipalities, enterprises and other national and regional institutions.

The role as an institution responsible for regional development involves developmental and organisational tasks, as well as technical and financial support and services, required for successful realisation of ideas and for achieving good results in economic, environmental and social development of the Spodnje Podravje region.

By identifying developmental problems in the Spodnje Podravje region, we provide appropriate solutions, and by exploiting opportunities from the local environment, we help to create and implement project ideas that could contribute to a new added value within the region.
