Among the discussed topics, it was agreed to work towards increasing the participation of youth and women representatives in the policy-making processes, where most of the important decisions are taken. This was deemed as very important by the mayor of the municipality, Mr. Svetislav Ivanovic.

The meeting also brought to light the concerns of the women informal group of the Municipal Assembly about the donation allocation for various projects that impact the role of women and youth in the municipality.

As a result of the discussion of concerns and needs of youth and women in the Municipality of Novoberdo, the mayor pledged that the Municipality will commit to work closely with the youth and women of the municipality in the future, and push forward their projects that are deemed to be important, not only for their inclusion in a more active society in the municipality, but for the general development of this community.

This activity was organized by CDKD within the framework of “Increased participation for good governance” project, implemented by Democracy for Development Institute (D4D) with the financial support of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Kosovo.
