Implementing citizens participation in decision making at local level

The aim of this guide is to give an overview of the legal background, theoretical models and practical examples of citizens’ participation in decision making at local level from the country and abroad. It makes a clear distinction between involvement of citizens in the functioning of the municipality and their involvement into the process of decision making as such. The guide goes beyond the methods offered in the legislation of the country and aims at bringing common domestic and international practices close to the municipal administration in the country.
