Description
The ongoing process of Montenegrin accession to the European Union emphasizes the importance of social inclusion at the local level even more. Namely, local self-governments in multiethnic communities are increasingly exposed to the need of designing and implementing local inclusion strategies and policies. Common denominator of all these policies is contained in a mutual interaction of various local actors as well as in promoting and advancing the integration and establishing of effective mechanisms for the development of local resources. Visible role of local authorities, followed by the process of financial decentralization, may not only induce the process of Roma inclusion, but also contribute to the development of the local-self government system as an important actor of European integration. This publication is aimed at encouraging and promoting examples of good practice in Roma inclusion at the local level.
