He presented the goals the City of Sremska Mitrovica had achieved in the past few years, adding that they were the originators of idea to set up a green councillors’ group, something the National Assembly already has experience with. He added that the city had applied for project "Sustainable Development for All", platform for local dialogue, and its public call issued to partner civil society organisations and local governments to send proposals for joint initiatives and mechanisms for the active participation of citizens in all decision-making processes at the level of local communities. The general goal is to boost participation of civil society organisations and the public in the region of Srem in the procedures of creating public policies and making decisions at the level of the local community, in connection with the field of environmental protection and sustainable development goals.

He said that in 2006 the city of Sremska Mitrovica and the city of Sabac signed a Cooperation Agreement related to the establishment of a solid waste management scheme. Based on that Agreement, in 2011 the two cities signed an Agreement on the construction, management and use of a regional solid waste management system on the territories of the two cities.
