Serbia launches public service centre based off Georgian model

The Republic of Serbia has opened a public service centre in the city of Lazarevic based off the Georgian model.

Minister of Public Administration and Socal self-Government of the Republic of Serbia Branko Rujik  and Georgian Minister of Justice Thea Tsulukiani opened the first Georgian model-based public service centre, today. 

We believe that these public service centres and other achievements in terms of accessible public services will be an excellent contribution for any country focused on quality growth and the ease of public service delivery”, Thea Tsulukiani stated.

The Georgian model of public service centres tries to make public services more accessible for citizens living in remote or difficult to reach areas.

Tsulukiani was invited by Rujic to attend the opening ceremony of the public centre in Serbia. 

Branko Rujic visited Georgia in November 2017, when the process of implementing the Georgian model of public service centres in the Republic of Serbia was launched.

Sandra Pantelich, Mayor of Lazarevac Municipality, representatives of the Georgian and Serbian governments and Ambassador  of Georgia to the Hellenic Republic attended the opening event.

The community centre development initiative which is a part of the EU funded project, "Introduction of e-Governance in Local Governments”, was implemented by the Public Service Development Agency of the Ministry of Justice of Georgia. 

The Community Centre offers services like receiving identification documents, registering property, getting biographical data from the archives and similar activities.
