These historical sites, which represent a common cultural and historic heritage, were reconnected on the occasion of the anniversary of the Edict of Milan. This project was actually a continuation of the project conducted by the same partners in the previous Call for Proposals, and it aimed to promote the necessity to assume joint responsibility for cultural heritage. In the course of the project, the museums entered into dialogue with the municipal and regional decision-makers regarding policies and activities aimed at the protection and preservation of monuments and their promotion to tourists. The five organisations from the two countries jointly explored the possibilities and seized opportunities for sustained economic development by ensuring responsible management of cultural heritage and proper support for related tourist programmes. They gave equal attention to educating the inhabitants of the settlements near the archaeological sites about the possibilities for tourist development. The common history was presented to the public through various events and activities during the 16-month-long project: activities and plans encouraging cross-border cooperation in terms of research, cultural relations and tourism; planning and realisation of a common tourist offer and ensuring its favourable impact on the sustainable development of the area; cross-border archaeological research and conservation works conducted at the sites with respect to the medieval period and the period following the issuance of the Edict of Milan; organisation of an exhibition and the accompanying publication presenting the research and the common cultural heritage of the border region. The objective of the educational programmes and the exhibition in particular was to inform the public about the importance of cultural and historic heritage, to raise awareness and promote the project and thematic heritage routes as tourism development opportunities.
