In fact there is no public participation in the decision-making process at all. Only in single cases some actions on the illegal building construction issue or other issues comes trough media. Many problems in the city remain unsolved. Main reasons of the low public activity are:

• unclear responsibilities to the problems, relevant to environmental services;

• no trust to justice, despite of the reform processes conducted in the sphere;
• no priority to environmental issues (electricity/gas supply; human rights; unemployment comes first).
