The Memorandum on Continuing Cooperation in Supporting Human Resource Management Packages in 50 Cities and Municipalities in Serbia, and as part of the project “Human Resource Management in Local Self-Government”, was signed on December 11 at the 47th Assembly of the Standing Conference of Cities and Municipalities in Serbia (SCTM). On behalf of the Municipality of Palilula Nis, this Memorandum was signed by Aleksandar Ždrale, the President.

Minister of State Administration and Local Self-Government Branko Ruzic says that these 50 local self-governments will have constant and continuous expert support that will help them to establish and improve the human resources management system. “This support package is of great importance. If we want our citizens to be satisfied with the service, we must take care of those who provide services to citizens, ie employees of local self-government, their qualifications, skills, but also how motivated they are, because their performance in the workplace affects the work of the entire local administration and quality of life for citizens, ”said Ruzic.
