3. Business Friendly Certification (BFC)
the context
• In order to help the municipalities from Serbia to improve local business
climate and attract more investments, NALED initiated the Business Friendly
Certification Program in 2007, with the support of USAID
• 2007 was the year when the new Law on local governments was adopted,
stipulating for the first time that municipalities were in charge for their local
economic development, not only the state government
• The BFC was introduced as a tool that sets clear standards and targets for the
municipalities, and at the same time – enables evaluation of the quality of
services and information municipalities render to investors
www.naled-serbia.org
4. Business Friendly Certification (BFC)
how it all began
• Relying on the experiences of Czeckinvest and USAID, NALED developed a tailor
made Certification program for municipalities in Serbia
• All the relevant stakeholders from the government and the business communitiy
were involved into developing the BFC criteria - wide consensus on the methodology
• NALED obtained the support of Government institutions for the BF Program:
Ministry of Economy Regional Development, Ministry of the Public Administration
and Local Government, National Agency for Regional Development, SIEPA etc
• This was how the concept and brand of Business Friendly Municipality was
introduced in Serbia!
