Abstract

The conception of the actual local self-government system had created at the age of the dualism. The development had two parts, the first one was the decentralism of the public law system, and the second one was the splay of the council’s sovereignty. Unfortunately there was a lot of council who went into liquidation so the state had to help them. Therefore the state’s influence became bigger and bigger, which process reflected at the new local self-government law. This law is limiting the local self-government’s sovereignty because it ignores the recommendation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government. There was necessary to made a new local self-government but with the consent of the councils.
