In this episode, not only do we take into account the environmental Vjeran's and Eko Kvarner's activism, but Vjeran also brings to the fore the dimension of activism in an EU Member State. In the framework of a conversation on protecting the Adriatic and the coastline, Vjeran touched upon many different dimensions of challenges that need to be addressed such as urbanization, tourism and economy, biodiversity, and energy supply - just to name a few. Vjeran reminded us of the importance of local community and initiatives, as well as the roles of civil society in advancing the preservation of all of our living surroundings.
