action plan in Latvia and Estonia

Ideas to be discussed

1. The process began in Salaspils
2. From this experience and other interested towns,
   may be possible to have a group of pilot towns in
   Sweden as a basis for a bottom up approach at
   national level.
3. Council of Europe can give support to do so
