🏢 About the local organisation
Mini-Yugoslavia and Koncept EEE, are two NGOs from Subotica that created a special piece of land called the Park Yugoland in 2003. The territory represents the territory of the second Yugoslavia; during the era of Tito. The information tables introduce facts about the country at that time. There is also a small museum. The park is spread over more than 3 hectares with more than 4,000 trees. Why it is called the 4th Yugoslavia, you can read here: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC376C2_mini-yugoslavia?guid=b95f1978-2cd0-49f7-9fc2-511dab7a41d2. The most important reason why Yugoland was founded is the Yugo-nostalgia. The mission of the organisation is preserving the Yugoslav culture and tradition, promoting Brotherhood Unity of South Slav Nations, maintaining the tradition of important events and dates in the history of South Slavic people. The hosting organisation is also active in preserving biodiversity, planting trees, composting, promotion of renewable energy resources and sustainable development. Our actions are directed to strong public advocacy towards changing bad habits regarding the use of natural resources and in terms of dealing with waste.
