Conference "New Regional Policies and European Experience"

Cabinet of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economy and Regional Development, National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development organised a conference on "New Regional Policies and European Experience" that gathered local and international experts in the field of regionalism, decentralisation, economy, political sciences, law, and other fields. The Conference took place on February 2 and 3, 2012, in the small hall of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. Dragiša Mijačić, the director of InTER, was invited to present the results of the research "Analysis of financing for regional development agencies within the Decree on Accreditation", with the main conclusion that the current financing models for regional development agencies are in favour of those covering financially stable municipalities, thus further increasing regional differences between rich and poor regions. Results of the research were presented within the second session of the first day of the conference, and the complete research will be available soon on InTER's website.
