DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE Page| 17 Ahmetbey is located in the middle of five important cities of Kirklareli- Luleburgaz, Pinarhisar, Vize, Saray, Qorlu- making it the center of towns of these cities. Its geographical position helps Ahmetbey enhance its living conditions, as both municipalities and inhabitants of surrounding villages are interacting and communicating actively conveying new solutions to the existing problems or innovations to make the life better. The economy is generally based on agriculture and livestock. Mechanization targets are achieved in agriculture, thus production and yield are increased in the area. Employment opportunities have been increasing with the creation of new working fields. For instance, 5 factories are established within the boundaries of the town and 500 people are employed. l-TK'.l o ® на -o "E сmл £CO Pinarhisar Poyrah P A .9- o I ЕЗЕШ ЕШЗ is Qakilli o I- o пз см 't- ЕжИ O m Buyiikyoncali S: Ш CD £ m ~ Kapaklt o° p3 Cerfcezkoy Kizilpinar hliil PFT L=U> Btiyukta Merkez ИЕЗ Marmaracik I « ПШЗ Muratli Qorlu i § A l»tt'M в 8 Keracakiiavuz CO I K Municipality Ahmetbey - geographic location re Z3 ф I- Population of Ahmetbey is 4498, but there is a fast population growth as a result of the Sg o) ..

EDUCATION The main source of income for population is the agriculture-mainly livestock breeding in Ahmetbey. The rate of economic activity is low, the number of enterprises is unsatisfactory, and the education level of the population is inadequate. Therefore the unemployment rate is relatively high especially among young people and women. Educational development and providing social services for child development are two of the Page| 18 most important targets Ahmetbey aims to reach. With the library founded by Municipality of Ahmetbey, 2 sports clubs, parent- teacher associations and 3 schools, Ahmetbey provides its children with a promising and a bright future. Now with the help of IPA Cross- border Cooperation Programme, Ahmetbey is getting ready to meet the demand of a playground for children and a place of social activities for parents.

CONCLUSION The analysis shows that within the municipalities Stambolovo and Ahmetbey are available favorable conditions for the development and promotion of organized sports, cultural and recreational activities of all kinds. Both municipalities have established themselves as significant and distinct cultural and social centers on both sides of the border, implementing diverse and multiethnic local initiatives. Page | 31 However, the events organized at the local level have sporadic, low-profile performance. Lack of widely available data (internet) for existing facilities and partnership opportunities are a prerequisite for the inefficient operation of the sites located in two municipalities. There are no established cross-border sports events that would increase the intensity of sports initiatives and help for full and effective use of the available capacity. The cross-border initiatives for disabled and children / young people with special needs are underdeveloped. Kf o o The establishment of a common cross-border cultural online portal could institutionalize the LU o mutual cooperation between the two communities and all stakeholders in the region. The O organization of events with cross-border regional scope will optimize the use of the existing Ф infrastructure and will make available to children and young people of both communities, all Е Е the opportunities which are provided for participation in the mass events. го ocn 0 p w o 0 -O "E («Л CЯD 9 Iфs — Ф Municipality of Stambolovo: 0 I- 1 http://www.stambolovo.org/ 1 o TO §| http://soukl.dir.bg 8 * http://www.rio26.escom.bg/start.php7RIO NUMBER=26 Ф CD £ Ш ~ http://www.minedu.government.bg/news-home/ °r* . -sO), ° 5 o o см £ FT => 2 LU Q.
