As for the work of Municipal Council team, the most substantial problem comprises the transparency and effective supervision of the local government authorities.
Regarding the activities of the team of the Mayor the indicator with the lowest appraisement is integrity. Indicators for accountability are also prominent with poorly rates. Supporting a public accountability standard for implemented strategies and management programs is also a problem.
