"After many years we, as a government, have managed to provide larger funds for the local self-governments. So far, considerably smaller amounts have been distributed for the purpose of providing assistance during migrations and floods. However, thanks to the new rules, we will, now, be able to provide greater resources for overhauling the infrastructure and also for increasing the efficiency of the administration, "Minister Ruzic said.
He underscored that it was important not only for improving the quality of life of the citizens, but also for attracting new investments.
The rules will be adopted soon, after which the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government will issue a call to the municipalities and cities to apply for these funds, the competent Ministry stated.
