problems related to municipal bonds, which are used as a substitute for
classical credit financing of local self-governments in developed countries
and, since recently, in the region - said Milan Trajkoviæ, the author of the Guide.
According to his words, the funds collected trough the issue of
municipal bonds are used by the cities and municipalities for development of
public infrastructure, sports facilities, roads, as well as for covering the
budget deficit.
