Adjara. The Civil Society Institute, Batumi City Council and its Civil Advisors' Council have organized on November 5-6 information meetings with the Batumi population. Together with the Mayor's trustees and deputies, representatives of the Civil Society Institute have informed locals in 13 territorial units of the Municipality about the principles of work of public assemblies. Further, they have informed them that until November 20 all interested citizens can request an application form in the local administration by place of residence and register as the assembly member. Following the registration, assembly members will elect the Chairman who will automatically become a member of the Civil Advisors' Council. Until November 25 the civil society, business and media organizations will hold meetings and name two Council members each. By the end of November, to boost citizen participation in the Municipality's governance, newly staffed Civil Advisors' Council will continue implementing activities together with the City Council.
