The trend of local self-government in Croatia

Abstract

It is beyond dispute that free market requires an efficient support and monitoring by the entire state administration apparatus. Therefore, Croatia is facing a fundamental reform of the system of both state administration and local self-government. In the previous years emphasis was put on the establishment of the basic institutes of the state and on the statehood itself, as well as on the stabilization of economy and on the reconstruction of residential and economie facilities, while the next step is certainly the building and completion of the system of state administration, further decentralization of affairs and consolidation of the local self-government, ali in order to make a more efficient and competent administration as a whole.
