On May 12, 2022, the General Assembly of the Network of Associations of Local Authorities in the Balkans (NALAS) was held in Belgrade. The network was established twenty years ago under the auspices of the Council of Europe and with the support of Swiss cooperation (SDC).

The network’s new president, Goran Cvetanovic, elected for a one-year term, is the mayor of Leskovac, a city in southern Serbia. As president of the Serbian Association of Local Authorities, he succeeded Tatiana Badan, mayor and president of the Association of Municipalities of Moldova. The following day, May 13, a session was held on sustainable water management and wastewater treatment in cities. As a founding member of NALAS, FEDRE participated in both meetings.
