Timisoara City Hall elaborated the General Town Plan of Timisoara, set up the first infokiosk, held the first public hearing, implemented the GIS and made it possible for applicants to submit documents at only one desk – all of which had never been done before in Romania.

The program ran for five months: from August to December 2000, and as local administrations met the criteria for getting a “star”, they reported to the IRIS, and after being monitored, they received the respective star(s).
Timisoara City Hall was the first in Romania to complete the program and to get the “Timisoara – a Five-Star City” certificate, which means that Timisoara is “open to investments”.

So, the US Government program aims at improving the business environment, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, so that they should be able to register themselves and carry out their activity.
The fact that the situation in Timisoara is unique in Romania ( unemployment rate: below 4%, level of foreign investments: 4 times higher than the average in Romania, wages: 20% higher than the country average) shows that Timiºoara is, indeed, a five-star city.
