The Head of department of Public administration prof. dr. Diana Šaparnienė says that it is necessary to talk about local government and look for the ways how to solve its problems.
The majority of the international conference participants have analyzed the issues of Good Governance when the governmental institutions work effectively, when representatives of the government are accountable to the society, and involve the citizens and other social partners into the management.
