“Changes, changes, changes” – in a nutshell, this is how we can summarize what happened in our project this past year. It was a year abounding in many interesting twists and turns of events. Formal, substantive and personal changes – these were the main features of the events of the last 12 months. Fortunately, most of the changes were positive, and all negative changes were recognised and eliminated in time.

As far as formal changes are concerned, the implementation of all the tasks of the project for the past twelve months was possible thanks to efficient management and administration of the project. A task force was created for this purpose, cooperating with an official guardian appointed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. During this time, two annexes to the grant agreement were prepared and signed, six payment claims were prepared, submitted and approved, and two updates of the list of persons authorised to process personal data were presented. As part of the ex-ante and ex-post inspections, documentation from seven tender procedures conducted in 2018 was sent to the Ministry of Culture (as an Intermediate Body) for approval (which we obtained), as well as information on estimating the value of public contracts for all contractors selected during this year. In addition, the Project Implementation Schedule was updated and an information procedure was conducted with the Intermediate Body regarding withdrawal from the agreement with one of the contractors, who declared bankruptcy, whose obligations were taken over by the bankruptcy trustee.
