13th birthday of EXPEDITIO

On this day 13 years ago we came up with an idea to establish EXPEDITIO. That year, i.e. in 1997, our first project entitled Expedition Perast ‘97 was realized. Since then, our organization has implemented over 40 projects and conducted a variety of activities in the field of cultural heritage, sustainable building and spatial planning. We use this opportunity to present an overview of our major projects during the past 13 years. We want to thank all of you who follow our work, support us, contribute to our activities and encourage us in fulfilling our mission!

Yours sincerely,
EXPEDITIO TEAM
