The business fair represents an opportunity for the programme beneficiaries to display their products to the public as well as to highlight the positive impact of EU and the Ministry of Community and Returns (MCR) support to these individuals and communities.

The EU-CSP IV Fair will showcase up to 70 small businesses that have been supported by the programme creating sustainable employment and unique income-generating opportunities for non-majority residents in all the 38 municipalities.

The EU-CSP IV aims to help non-majority communities improve their living conditions, empower and stabilize them, and promote their return. CSP has been active since 2002 enhancing the conditions necessary for the retention, stabilisation of non-majorities into the social-economic life by decreasing unemployment and increasing income-generating opportunities. The programme aims was to improve living conditions and to promote sustainable livelihoods through the support to individual businesses initiatives, associations and cooperatives and community development activities.
