A network LAG Gorski kotar is trying to approach the problem of this hidden mountain pearl called the Gorski kotar in a new and innovative way. By using Leader's rural development methodology, which has been successfully developed in the European Union for the past decades, it is trying to open a new and prospective development of the region.
