Sažetak
A public and professional debate about reorganisation of local self-government has been going on in Croatia for quite some time and with particular intensity during the past year. An important component of the local self-government
system is the territorial structure. Identification of its characteristics gives the necessary basis to the suggestions for changes of the system. The current local self-government system is characterised by excessive complexity of the territorial organisation and its insufficient stability, imbalance, insufficient efficiency of
local self-government, weak development potentials, and centralistic manner of governance at the national level. In order to conduct the necessary reforms, the relevant actors have to reach an agreement about the necessity of changing the governance model as well as about the new, developmental purposes of local self-government. Moreover, they should give up historically obsolete models and
accept rational organisation of the country.
