ANNUAL CEDEF PROGRAMME FOR CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES IN SERBIA: SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT LEADERS 2015

Central European development forum, CEDEF under the auspices of Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure RS, Ministry of Mining and Energy RS, Environmental protection Committee of the National Assembly RS, Environmental protection agency RS and Chamber of Commerce of Vojvodina within the CEDEF Annual Program for cities and municipalities in Serbia- SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT LEADERS 2015, organized a series of Conventions- regional gatherings across Serbia. The goal of the program was to encourage the capacities of cities and municipalities in Serbia which will become competitive and sustainable cities through responsible and determined leadership.

Dynamic modern leaders who are on the head of the municipalities and cities are facing with more and more bigger social, economic and environmental problems. The SUSTAINABLE LEADERS program acknowledges the extreme devotion of these leaders in solving these problems, with the implementation of new forms of financing, the latest technological developments and existing local and world experiences. Real leaders find new solutions for new challenges, new investments, finances and new partnerships, where the public- private partnerships are the key factor of success world wide.

Also, CEDEF recognized the need of the cities and municipalities in Serbia for technologies which save energy, time and money. In tendency to make the local self- governments more efficient and able to provide better life quality and living standard for all the citizens, CEDEF connected local self- governments which showed the willingness to point out significant infrastructural projects and energy efficiency projects to technology holders.

During the five regional gatherings, every relevant figure in the specific region took part: mayors, municipality presidents, public service directors (including kindergartens, schools, hospitals, health centers etc.) energy managers and local media, who will make direct contact through B2B meeting with the leading companies and/or organizations in the area of energy efficiency, lighting, HVC systems financing and many others.

In one place, CEDEF gathered the so called Premier League of companies which can significantly contribute to savings and raising the overall efficiency of the local self-governments: Telekom Srbija, Minel Schreder, Miteco, Knauf Insulation, Naue Opticus, Banca Intesa, DDOR Novi Sad, Viessmann, LG, Arup. On these gatherings, models for funding the development projects of cities and municipalities in Serbia were presented

The Program includes all 168 cities and municipalities in Serbia and will be realized through five Conventions, in:
