Efficient restructuring of the municipal organisation, application of strategic planning and
development of a long-term strategic management plan based on the local community’s
vision and mission should be conducted simultaneously despite the fact that each of
them will have varied success. However, the advantages originating from the realisation
of such a concept related to the reform of local authorities should result in tangible and
measurable results with direct impact on the everyday life of the citizens of Serbia and
their aspiration to achieve a high standard of living.
