In Municipality of Palilula, according to President Vuckovic, the budget funds provided for assistance and support to social categories of citizens are insufficient and often directed exclusively on the principle of priority. As the management of the Municipality, we went beyond the existing practice. We have initiated cooperation and partnerships with institutions and civil society organizations in the field of social protection, especially of vulnerable groups.

From the Center for Social Work, we receive data on the state of social needs of citizens in our territory, which additionally obliges and motivates us to actively participate in improving the social status of citizens on a personal, family and wider social level.
