„If the heart could speak, it would say: buckwheat, buckwheat,…buckwheat is all I need!” The great professor Tanovic shared his vast knowledge and experience with members of Cooperative Association “Klekovaca” and farmers from Drinic, Bosanski Petrovac and Drvar. 

Under the project Support to rural development in municipalities of Bosanski Petrovac, Drinic, and Drvar, on July 29, 2016 in Drinic, a seminar was organized about possibilities for the development of organic agricultural production in the northwestern B&H.
