9. Needs and Obstacles: The general politics is: reduction of government administration (at the moment: one statistician + one project engineer) Request: expand number of experts in this area – least 4 statisticians + project engineer Support in providing technical instruments: methodological recommendation, questionnaire, tabulation schemes etc. Permanency of education and training for personnel: participation on international workshops. Suggestion for improvement of coverage in R&D: aim – to include business sector and non-profit sector. Statistilal units - overcroweded by requests from state statistics and other goverment institutions. www.stat.gov.rs pub@stat.gov.rs WP4: Building Capacities Belgrade, October 2-3, 2008
