Proposing the candidates for AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS who contributed the most to the development of entrepreneurship in the Central and South-Eastern Europe was carried out in six categories during the period from August 2017 to March 2018. In the past 6 months, 169 proponents submitted names of 491 candidates from 10 countries (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Germany and Serbia). The Project Administration eliminated the candidates who had not met the basic requirements for nominations and due to a large number of submitted proposals had to make the first selection of potential candidates. All proposed candidates gave written consent to be nominated. After filtering candidates an independent International Committee for awards and recognitions consisted of thirteen members (3 honorary members do not vote) has been submitted by 92 proposed candidates for further consideration and decision. Each candidate, to become a laureate, had to obtain 2/3 of the Committee member votes – that is, at least 7 votes.

From 92 nominated candidates the Committee has selected and awarded the top 40 companies and persons from 7 countries, that are the most deserving for development of entrepreneurship in 2017 in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Following such procedure the International Award and Recognition Committee of International Economy Forum "Perspektive" has decided to assign the AWARD AND RECOGNITION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE “CREATORS FOR THE CENTURIES” to the company KLASTER POLJOMEHANIZACIJE d.o.o. (Agricultural Equipment Cluster Ltd.), Osijek, Croatia. The award ceremony “CREATORS FOR THE CENTURIES” was held in Dubrovnik from 2nd to 4th March 2018 in SHERATON HOTEL.
