The forum discussed the executive mechanisms that the municipalities use in general as well as the projects they carry out, the challenges they face, the opportunities available to them, the duties of society towards the work of the municipalities, and the extent to which the municipalities contribute to enhancing security and stability in the region. Some participants pointed out that the municipalities, in general, did not play their role nor did they implement the recommendations of the first forum.
