The Municipal Committee of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) of Kolašin today called on the local parliament to adopt the proposals of the "Together we are building Kolašin" movement in order to improve the economy and tourism of the municipality.
The Kolašin DPS said that the councilors of the Movement "Together we build Kolašin" submitted to the local parliament proposals for two new decisions and one amendment to the decision, which should be on the agenda of the next session of the Kolašin Municipal Assembly.
"The proposal of the Decision on the criteria, method and procedure of co-financing of sports, cultural and tourist events in the territory of the municipality of Kolašin establishes an objective distribution of funds to the organizers of events from the territory of the municipality of Kolašin based on predetermined, measurable criteria, as well as the reputation of the event itself. Kolašin, as the tourist capital of the north of Montenegro, must invest more funds in enriching the non-boarding offer in order to extend the average stay of tourists in our city and create the conditions for raising the tourist offer to a higher level," the announcement states.
From DPS Kolašin, they said that numerous manifestations that have come to life in previous years thanks to the enthusiasm and initiative of young people have problems with the unpredictability of the existing system of financing manifestations directly from the local budget, considering that there are no criteria that ensure the security of financing manifestations.
"This decision does not refer to the funds allocated for the work of sports clubs, it is a special procedure, nor will the adoption of the decision reduce the existing funds provided for in the budget for the organization of events, but on the contrary, it is proposed to increase that amount from €108.000 to €150.000 € for the next year," said DPS Kolašin.
They said that in addition to this, the Movement's councilors submitted to the parliamentary procedure a proposal for a Decision on the criteria, method and procedure for the distribution of funds to support youth entrepreneurship, which provides an incentive for beginners in business and companies in which at least one of the founders is a person younger than 30 years.
"With this decision, i.e. by allocating budget funds for this purpose in the amount of 20.000 euros, we want to encourage young people to start a private business in Kolašin and thus contribute to the development of the local community and remain living and working in their city. Also, bearing in mind successful implementation of the Decision on the criteria, method and procedure for distributing funds to support women's entrepreneurship through which many women in Kolašin started or improved their own businesses, the movement's councilors proposed changes to this decision in the part that refers to the amount of funds provided in the budget for this purpose. writes in the press release of DPS Kolašin.
They believe that due to the increase in the income of the local budget, it is necessary to increase the allocation for women's entrepreneurship from the current 10.000 euros to 20.000 euros in order to provide further incentives for women to invest in their private businesses.
"We believe that through the voting of these three decisions, the resolution of the local parliament would be shown that the existing economic and touristic progress of our municipality, which is reflected in the increase of the income side of the budget, will spill over to those categories of society that in our community, with their creativity and persistence, strive to create added value", concludes the press release of DPS Kolašin.
