Its purpose is to find a best avenue to bring City of Niš level of security closer to great Cities of Europe. This strategy is one of the main prerequisites to make Niš a safe City. Vision of the Strategy is economically, social y and environmentally safe City of Niš that is permanently improving its institutions for promotion of safety, acting proactively and properly resolves risks and threats to the security for a purpose of increasing the quality of life of its citizens . City of Niš with its undeveloped infrastructure, degraded industry, neglected ecology, and impoverished social policy has a need for such a strategy that will in an adequate way find resolution for all social, economical, ecological problems and also the ways for overcoming emergency situations. I believe that we will succeed to move Niš and include it in current world tendencies and make it a City with great perspective – City of Future. Also I believe that this strategic document will bring numerous partners from the whole world, and also possibilities for large investments and material assistance. In this way a lot of job opportunities will be created. Basic task of the Safety Strategy is to face the problems that are endangering the safety of the City and to optimally utilize the precious resources, values and potentials that allow the overcoming of these problems. Thinking of a City as a property of great importance for all that live and work in it, we expect that also you, citizens of Niš, and professional audience, help to really put this document in life through realization of specific projects of interest for all of us. I believe that we will succeed to make Niš as safest City as possible. City where everyone will feel economically, socially and ecologically safer. City that will with its unique system of protection and rescue mitigate and remove risks, threats and consequences of emergency situations. Niš as safe City will attract foreign investments and enable to make it a City of future.
