What Niš Citizens Said: 2024 Citizen Consultations Overview

Local consultations with citizens were conducted in Niš as part of the REACH project—“Reinventing Engagement through Affirmative Citizen Consultations”. The group consisted of 30 citizens, with the majority showing high levels of commitment and motivation to discuss key issues in Serbia.
The aim of the project is to inspire more active citizen participation in political processes that influence their daily lives.

Citizens had the opportunity to voice their opinions on several key themes, such as:

• Rule of Law;
• Environmental Protection;
• EU Integration.

Through REACH, the intention is to make sure citizens are meaningfully included in decision-making, allowing community needs and expectations to be better acknowledged and addressed.

Initiatives like these strengthen democratic values, promote greater transparency, and support the development of inclusive policies that reflect the diverse viewpoints within society.
