President Shiroka Pula emphasized that, at the local level, citizens observe daily how institutions function and the degree of responsibility they demonstrate.
In her view, municipalities also serve as a bridge between citizens and central-level institutions.
President Shiroka Pula assured the mayors that she would support them within the scope of her authority.
She pledged that, in her meetings with representatives of other states, international institutions, and development partners, she would showcase the potential of our municipalities.
