The municipal council is the legislative power of local level. It takes the decisions, which form and define the development of the local community. Very often there are no actions for increasing the capacity of the municipal councillors and for facilitating their activity. This restricts their information and decreases their capacity of taking clear and effective managing decisions to a great extend. Through realization of the planned activities under this project will be facilitated the activity of the municipal councils; through application of common information services and resources will be created additional communication channels for exchange of experience and good practices; the information of the municipal councillors will be improved through their participation in the cross-border network, mechanisms for collaboration with the civil organizations will be created and their capacity for application of the principles for good management will be improved.
