ADMINISTRATIVE SETTLEMENT OF THE LEVEL OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

Local community may be considered a form of decision making and managing by people in smaller communities in smaller territories, directly by its citizens or their representatives elected by them or any other local authorities. It is a form of autonomous dealing with life matters and needs of local population in smaller-scale territories, remaining loyal to the state approved way of dealings with those matters. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the local community has been developing through two separate and somewhat different subsystems – one that is characteristic of local self-government in the Federation of BiH and the one in Republika Srpska.
