Management of the project is structured in the way as provided in the application form. For the purposes of the project a Joint Project Board (hereinafter: JPB) is set up at the cross-border level, and it consist of representatives of the Slovenian and Croatian applicants and partners. Management of the JPB is the responsibility of the functional partner - the representative of the Slovenian part. The JPB will, through its activities and co-ordination of activities and through joint adoption of decisions, ensure the unhindered and well co-ordinated progress of the project on both sides of the border. Besides, the co-ordination and management of the project at the national level is a responsibility of the project manager with the project team as a supervisory body. Thus, we can easily specify the JPB as a strategic body which will meet at least four times during the implementation of the project, or more often if necessary. The project team will be responsible for the management and implementation of the project, promotion and public relations on both sides of the border, with the project manager acting as its ‘’executive body’’. The project manager will, on a regular basis, report to the project team and functional partner and he will be responsible for the co-ordination of the project at the national level.

This work package is the essential part of the Croatian portion of the project which will result in the restored 250 metres of the pit. Due to legal restrictions, works may not be carried out by the applicant and his partners but only by an external contractor holding a license for the performing of the mining activities, and selected in public tender. Project documentation for the tender is being prepared by the Zagreb Faculty of Mining, which is a strategic partner in the project.
Within this work package, the external contractor will dig through a new tunnel (underground working) to the Sveto Trojstvo shaft, in a length of 110 m, restore the old faces from the said Sveto Trojstvo pit to the Kokel pit in a length of 50 m, and repair the underground working Kokel in a length of 90 m.
