institutions and 1.665 other legal entities (06/30/2008). Insufficiently developed

structure changing, as well as finding strategic partners in privatization process, demand
active participation of local government in creating economic development of the city as
an important factor of reviving economic and social activities.

development and environmental protection has been formed. The administration
contains seven departments, joining together all tasks relevant for local economic
development. There are 65 work places in the administration. Head of the administration

INFORMATION-COORDINATION CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The analysis of the scope and conditions under which entrepreneurship develops in the City of
Niš showed that there is not a unified information-coordination service, which is required for
those citizens who want to start their own businesses, as well as for those who are already
entrepreneurs. The direct consequence of the lack of this kind of service is that the citizens are
not informed properly and their time lost at various desks.
