LGA Policy Agenda - Response to Global Crisis

Presidents and executives of NALAS Member Associations met in Dubrovnik on 11-13 July and discussed impacts of the global economic crisis on the local governments in South East Europe. The current situation was assessed, good and bad practices were collected and recommendations were developed from the local governments and local government associations in South East Europe. In addition, the draft methodology for assessing direct and indirect impacts of the crisis on local budgets was discussed and it will soon be offered to local government associations in order to help them successfully negotiate with central governments.
