The reform of local self-government in Bijelo Polje is very necessary, especially in the area of personnel policy, announced Jelenka Andrić, a candidate for councilor on the "Europe now! For Bijelo Polje" list.
"We have witnessed that in the past period the main criterion for employment in local self-government was a party card, not expertise. Such a practice created a surplus of employees and a lack of quality in the work of public services. If we add to that that even in the most responsible positions there are people with with dubious diplomas, it is not surprising that the institution does not deliver results and that it does not serve as a service for citizens but for the party," said Andrić.
She said that only in the past few months, dozens of job advertisements in local self-government have been announced, even though we are in the middle of the election process.
"It is obvious that the local government is aware that its political end is approaching, so it is hiring and paving in a panic, but the citizens have already decided on changes, and they give the last word," Andrić points out.
The list he represents, claims Andrić, will not be guided by such a personnel policy when they take over power in Bijelo Polje.
"Europe will now professionalize and depoliticize local self-government, so that it serves citizens and the economy. In order to speed up the development of Bijelo Polje, we need personnel with knowledge, integrity and commitment, who do not see their workplace as "party spoils", but they understand and accept that their job is to solve citizens' problems, actively and dedicatedly. It is precisely such people who make up our Movement," concluded Andrić.
