This brief guide is intended to provide the public with basic information about the amendments to, i.e. revision of the City of Zagreb budget, proposed in October 2016, and encourage them to participate in deliberations about the City’s budget. The crucial reasons for proposing this budget revision have been to strike a balance between planned revenues and the dynamics and level of revenue realisation so far, as well as its forecast by end–2016. Another reason has been to align budget spending with revenue and receipt estimates.
