| In an effort to support civic action and increase public space for community activities, CBI has provided $12,000 in materials to a citizens group in Bitola for the renovation of their community hall. The building is the seat of the local Neighborhood Council, part of a public network of meeting halls once intended to encourage citizens to play an active role in their community and provide a means for local authorities to maintain close ties with their constituency. Historically, they served as both community centers and polling stations but most fell into disuse and disrepair following independence in 1991. |
