Dear citizens, remember the years when our Temerin was ahead in the former Yugoslavia. The time behind us was quite difficult and left the consequences to overall development of our municipality.

Advantages and perspectives that our town has are large and chances for the many-sides and completed development of our city are completely certain. In order to fast and efficient development, besides natural prerequisites, we still need a lot. Mostly the people.
