The Brežani-Tršće rural community is situated in the picturesque basins of two rivers, Zgošća and Trstionica, and comprises 16 inhabited areas with a combined population of 10 091. Nestled close to the renowned ski hub of Ponijeri and the historic Kraljeva Sutjeska site, this rural community has both natural and cultural significance. Despite the presence of sizable industrial enterprises in the Kakanj municipality, agriculture remains the primary economic activity for the members of the rural community. The key agricultural assets include greenhouse vegetable cultivation, on-farm dairy operations with milk processing, and cattle husbandry, in which a cow-calf system is employed. 

Brežani-Tršće’s robust cultural-historical legacy, well-developed infrastructure, and promising entrepreneurial and tourism opportunities offer significant potential. The community benefits from well-developed associations and networks, exemplified by the prominent “TRST Tršće” Women's Association and the umbrella “KAP Kakanj” farmers’ associations, along with eight sectoral associations. These entities are at the heart of the community’s capacity for self-organization, advocacy and collective endeavours. Rich in such natural resources as fertile land and pristine water sources, as well as cultural and historical landmarks, Brežani-Tršće is uniquely positioned for the championing of sustainable agricultural practices and for capitalizing on the developing agritourism market. Furthermore, the integration of digital solutions into the agriculture sector has the potential to catalyse growth and enhance cross-sector collaboration.
