The basic scientific problem of this research is to indicate and analyse all, or at least the most important factors that affect the position of local self-government in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to identify the reasons for its lagging, and to research the reasons by which the future local self-government depends from, as the activity closest to the citizens.
