STANDING CONFERENCE OF YUGOSLAV TOWNS
The Standing Conference of Yugoslav Towns was founded some 16 years ago (April 1953). Today it has a membership of 265 communes — out of a total of 501 — from all constituent republics, and acts as a forum for exchange of experience and for public discussions of socio-economic and other matters of common interest to its members (towns or communes). As a voluntary, consultative organization, whose conclusions, decisions and recommendations are not binding on its members, the Conference is a form of intercity and intercommunal cooperation in the broadest national sense. Since the Conference is made up of communes from all constituent republics and of various level of economic and social development, the work of Conference is adjusted accordingly.
