OSCE Mission to Skopje promotes training programme for municipal councillors

Representatives of twenty municipal councils were introduced to an OSCE training programme designed to promote democratic governance through improved work of local elected officials during promotional events that took place in Ohrid and Skopje on 19, 20 and 21 September.

These events were organized by the OSCE Mission to Skopje in co-operation with the Association of Local Self-Government Units (ZELS) and the State Inspectorate for Local Self- Government.

“The OSCE Mission to Skopje has been providing continuous support to efforts to build the capacities of municipal councils since the start of the decentralization process,” said Ninoslav Vasiljević, the Chief of the Mission’s Democratic Governance and Social Cohesion Unit. “We remain committed to strengthening the capacities of municipal councillors in order to help them improve the quality of life in local communities.”

OSCE staff will deliver the training course in October and November.
