O FINANSIJSKOJ AUTONOMIJI NIŽIH TERITORIJALNO-ADMINISTRATIVNIH JEDINICA U KRALjEVINI JUGOSLAVIJI – PRILOG RASPRAVAMA O RAZVITKU LOKALNE SAMOUPRAVE

Abstract

There are divergent authorial views with regard to the assessment of the selfgovernment of municipalities, counties and areas proclaimed by the Vidovdan Constitution and accompanying legal acts. Public and financial doctrine is in agreement in the belief that without the financial autonomy of lower territorialadministrative units, there is no actualization of the principles of local selfgovernment. Since the topic of the development of local public finances in our country still seems insufficiently researched, the author tries to re-test the hypothesis of the existence of local self-government in the period of application of this constitutional act, by presenting the normative framework and significant doctrinal reviews on this issue. The aim is to provide a possibility for a broader and more effective view of the development of this political and legal institute.
