o:29409 Public Management: comparative analysis of the application of the participative budget concept in the countries of the former Yugoslavia en Participatory budgeting (PB) is a process that enables citizens to participate in decision-making related to local governments, i.e. improving the quality of life on a micro level. This paper takes an example of the former republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which do not have such a developed system of PB, but the process has certainly begun, with the likely tendency of expansion and development. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the use and role of PB in Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Montenegro. Keywords: participatory budgeting, public investment decision, former republics of the SFRY, citizens' decisions 2023-05-13T06:41:38.868Z 44 no 46 Ernad Kahrović Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru 0000-0002-0892-4908 Veljko Dmitrović person 0000-0001-8924-9758 Zenaida Šabotić Državni univerzitet u Novom Pazaru person 0000-0002-1870-3885 application/pdf 182629 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:29409 no yes 1 70 92000004 20A01 XVI International Symposium: Doing business in the diogital age: challenges, approaches and solution, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Zlatibor 51 59 2018
