A publication for the Council of Europe and Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe prepared in co-operation with the Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative (LGI) and PASOS (Policy Association for an Open Society) with reports on Local Democracy in Stability Pact Countries since the Zagreb Conference and Fiscal Decentralisation in South-Eastern Europe
PASOS partners involved in the project: Institute for Contemporary Studies, Albania, Center for Economic Development, Bulgaria, Center for Research and Policy Making, Macedonia, Institute for Development and Social Initiatives (IDIS) “Viitorul“, Moldova, Institute for Public Policy, Romania
Other partners: Center for Policy Studies, Bosnia-and-Herzegovina, Institute for Public Finance, Croatia, Union of Municipalities, Montenegro, Public Administration and Local Government Center, Serbia
The project, conducted under the auspices of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and the Council of Europe, set out to analyse and evaluate progress made in implementing local government reform programmes in South-East Europe. Local research teams critically assessed the commitments made by national authorities in the areas of fiscal decentralisation and local government reform. The research results were presented to the Stability Pact and the Council of Europe at a conference of the region‘s ministers responsible for local government, held in Skopje, Macedonia, in November 2006. The reports serve as tools to encourage the ministers to continue and accelerate the reform process, and to adhere to and, in some cases, modify the National Work Programmes adopted at the earlier ministerial meeting in Zagreb, Croatia, in 2004.
