The Republic of Serbia has recently passed the Law on Local Self-Government followed with a set of laws that gives larger autonomy to local authorities and exacts organizational restructuring of the whole system of local authorities in Serbia. Only few important laws are missing as well as some of the basic institutions and networking. If so supported, strategic planning process can be a backbone of the local reform, thus opening the door to new possibilities. Therefore the model described above illustrates how the local authorities can restructure/reformulate their practices and procedures so as to make a positive impact on a far-reaching future of local communities in Serbia. Efficient restructuring of the municipal organization, application of strategic planning and development of institutions with a long-term strategic management plan based on the vision and mission of local community, should be the main factor of further development of local society. However, the advantages originating from the realization of such a concept related to the reform of local authorities should result in tangible and measurable results with direct impact on the everyday life of the citizens in the Republic of Serbia and their aspiration to achieve a high standard of living
