Description

Former mayors can be awarded the honorary title of "former mayor" or "former mayor".
Other options for honoring deserving citizens include: honorary gifts, honorary medals, honorary rings and the like.
However, every citizen can also propose the award of deserving citizen to the municipality (merits and time spent with the municipality must be presented). Those who nominate themselves cannot be considered.
Requirements
In order to be awarded honorary citizenship, the person to be honored must have rendered special services to the municipality itself. These can be merits of a material or non-material nature. The requirements for other honors by the municipality are not generally defined; they can be regulated in a statute.
