infrastructure. The current Program for the support of social housing should be
expanded and aimed at supporting cities to attract young professionals in those
economic areas where specialization of the region will take place.
5.5.3. A separate priority is the development of the infrastructure of rural
settlements. Long-term planning of the development of each rural settlement, in
connection with national goals, mobilizing the capacities of local governments and
local communities, creating a supportive environment for investment in public
infrastructure will be the basis for improving the life of the villagers and reducing
the existing development gap between the city and the village.
