MARTINOVIĆ TOURED WORKS ON THE ADAPTATION OF THE NEW CITY HALL DURING HIS VISIT TO KRAGUJEVAC

The Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, Aleksandar Martinović, PhD, has visited the City of Kragujevac today, where he toured the former Courthouse, which should soon become the City Hall.

“The renovation has already commenced, but the works require considerable funds, because this building is a cultural monument, which is under state protection, for which the City of Kragujevac requires additional financial support. The idea is to accommodate a larger part of the city administration in this representative space. I believe that the Republic of Serbia and the City of Kragujevac shall succeed in their efforts to completely renovate this building and convert it to its intended purpose,” minister Martinović has said, recalling that the building was built in 1904 for the needs of the former District Headquarters, that it was the seat of the courts, and that it housed the Supreme Command of the Serbian Army during the First World War.

During his visit to the City of Kragujevac, minister Martinović met with the mayor of Kragujevac, Nikola Dašić, and the Head of the Šumadija Administrative District, Biljana Ilić Stošić. They talked about the actual problems which this city faces, but also about future joint cooperation with the aim of devising an active approach to solving them. The minister undertook to inform the members of the Government about the need to reconstruct local roads, as well as about the problem of supplying certain villages.

Martinović had recalled that the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government had recently awarded the City of Kragujevac with an Annual Award in the amount of RSD 2.5 million for the best local self-government in the field of efficiency and responsibility, for introducing a system for reporting problems, i.e. inquiries and proposals from citizens and legal entities through the software application “e-Kgrađanin” and interlinking with the software application “Identity card of local communities”.
