The Forum, which brings together representatives of local and regional authorities from the whole region, will also look at how municipalities in the area can have access to European Union funds. It will also turn the spotlight on fiscal decentralisation and the use of tourism to re-launch local and regional economies.
The Forum will be held in the Grand Hotel Avala, Mediteranska 1, Budva, Montenegro, and will be opened by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, the Congress President Giovanni Di Stasi, the Head of the OSCE Mission in Serbia and Montenegro Maurizio Massari, and Deputy Special Co-ordinator of the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe Michael Mozur.
