Adequate financial resources for local authorities

According to the ToR, the main goals of this report should be a review of the different financial systems on which resources available to local authorities are based and an assessment whether they are sufficiently diversified and buoyant in the face of the world financial crisis beginning in 2008. Its other aim is to look at how the principle of ‘adequate resources’ is defined within the national economic policy. According to the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia (article 138) it is important that the units of local and regional self-government have the right to their own revenues, of which they dispose freely when carrying out affairs within their jurisdiction. The revenues of local and regional units of self-government shall be proportional to their authorities provided by the Constitutional and law. The State shall assist financially weaker units of local self-government in conformity with law. This is situation on the normative level. But in practices mostly is just opposed. The ‘commensurability principle’ is not recognized by law in my country. Many disproportionality are between various parts of country. Simple, summa sumarum is that this is policy which have the most lack of grooming.
