  • The Municipal Mayor


    In its essence, this publication aims to elaborate the position of
    the ?MayorÔ as a dominant institution in the triangle: the Mayor (executive)
    - Municipal Assembly (legislative) - Citizens (general public, civil society). The cornerstone argument of this publication is that the role of the institution of the Mayor withinthe system of local governance in the Republic of Kosovo requires better checks and balances instruments, moreover, it seeks more internal institutional and external with public accountability. The publication argues that because of the strong and dominant position of the institution of the Mayor, combined with the passive role of the ChairpersonsÔ of the Municipal Assemblies and civic apathy, results with the democratic deficit which is a concerning issue for local government developments, now and in the Future. As such this publication represents a contribution to strengthen direct democracy via strengthening institutional accountability and transparency.
