About the association

An association grown from the village

Households, farmers and friends of Lever Tara decided to speak about their village’s future not one by one, but together.

How we started

One voice for one village

The founding Assembly met in Pljevlja on 10 March 2024, adopting the Statute and establishing the Non-governmental association of households, farmers and other persons of Lever Tara village “Naša Lever Tara”.

The association is non-partisan, non-profit and founded for an indefinite period. We work at local, national and international level, with our seat at Prenćanska 23 in Pljevlja.
