The program booth was visited by the President of the Swiss Confederation, Guy Parmelin

As part of the official presentation of the new Swiss Cooperation Programme with Serbia for the 2026–2029 period, the President of the Swiss Confederation, Guy Parmelin, visited the stand of the "PRO - Local Governance for People and Nature" Programme.

This high-level visit reaffirmed Switzerland's strong support for local-level reforms in Serbia, with a particular focus on improving citizen services and environmental protection.

During the discussions at the stand, it was emphasized that the PRO Programme actively contributes to enhancing accountability and transparency within municipalities and cities. At the same time, it provides direct support in creating better social services and ensuring more efficient environmental protection at the local level.

The high-level delegation gained insight into how the principles of good governance are applied in practice, supporting local administrations in their goal of becoming a true service for all citizens, especially those from vulnerable groups..
