On 23-24 April, in Modlin (Poland), the meeting of the first group (WP1) of the international project INTERREG III B “Baltic Fort Route” (BFR) took place. During the meeting, the presentations of the pilot projects in Modlin and Kostrzyn were presented. The WP1 manager Dr. Valdas Rakutis presented the program of this working group for the period until the end of the project and the final tasks that the partners still have to complete.

Modlin and Kostrzyn have to finalize the pilot projects; the partners from Peics, Kaunas, Gdańsk, and Kostrzyn should prepare the reports about making an inventory of the fortifications. It is also necessary to prepare a report about the project Trans-National Information System database, on the basis of which an International Documentation and Inventory Centre will be established in Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas.

Moreover, the Internet web pages of WP1 and WP2 were discussed; these pages should have similar design and should be accessible from the general web page of the project.

During this meeting the new assistant was elected – Karolina Bilska from Kołobrzeg, to replace the previous WP1 manager's assistant who had left the project. Coordinator of the project Dr. Hans Rudolf Neumann moderated a discussion about the future projects and the possibility to cooperate the general activities of the INTERREG IV B and C projects in the future.

During the meeting, a six-hour excursion to the fortification in Modlin was organized. This fortification still belongs to the military structures; there is also a private fort in the fortification, where various activities are being carried out, including running a private horse farm.
