Sažetak
Croatian local self –government is organised two levels. First level is local self-government units, cities and municipalities, organised as a polytypic local government units. Those types of local self-government units are firstable responsible for communal affairs and urban planning. On the first level in Croatia are established 550 local units. On the second level are counties, who have responsibility for many decentralised public services on the local level, such as primary health care, elementary education and other local educational services etc, and for coordination between local government units on their own territory. Today in Croatia is 20 counties and capital city Zagreb which also have status as county. Present structure of local self-government has been formatted in 1992 Year, when was abounded earlier system of local self-government. Local units have powers and tasks, dividend into cities and municipalities’ one the first level, and counties on the second level. The power of municipalities and cities are in principle equal. Some bigger cities have higher jurisdiction in certain local affairs. All of these local public affairs, managed by local units are limited. One of the questions in future reform of local self government is how to improve organization of local self-government and how local services which they provide can be quality, efficiently and available for affordable price. The main question is can the possibility of decentralisation of local self-government in Croatia improve quality of local public services in local government units? In that sense in this article shall be presented actual problems and developments in Croatian local self-government.
