Abstract
In Croatia, there is a state level of government (all state institutions and extrabudgetary funds), regional level (counties) and local level (cities and municipalities). The aim of this paper is to establish the opinions and main similarities and differences of the residents in political perception on the example of two Croatian regions – Međimurje (area between the two large rivers, Mura and Drava) and Podravina (the Drava river basin). Although the mentioned regions are geographically close and quite similar in some of their socio-geographical and socio-economic characteristics, yet there are some differences between them. They are both border regions (the border with Hungary), which can also affect the political attitudes of the residents of these areas. The analysis was made by collecting data through survey research in the mentioned regions during April and May 2022.
