Monitoring of grassroots democracy in Lithuania  [22/03/2012]

Allocation of sufficient resources to local authorities, entrenchment of the principle of subsidiarity in the law on self-government and encouragement of citizens to participate in local affairs are major issues suggested to the Lithuanian authorities by the Congress�s second monitoring report on the situation of local and regional democracy in this country. The report - which was adopted at the 22nd Congress Session - praises, in particular, the guarantees given in the constitution to the right to self-government for local authorities and progress made in consultation procedures between associations of local government and the federal level.
