District governer and the goernment of a district

Summary/Abstract: The district governor realizes the policy of the executive power within the district by carrying out organizational, administrative and control functions. He/she is the sole organ of the executive power and makes sure there is conformity between national and local interests. The imputed authorities of the district governor are mentioned in more than sixty acts and in more than forty subdelegated enactments. This paper focuses on some of the possible ways of improving the governor’s management. The first possibility is related to the fact that there are no particular requirements regarding the taking of the position. Therefore, we believe that it is necessary for a district governor to have a command of certain knowledge, skills and competences. Another possible way for improving the work of a district governor is related to the necessity of strategic thinking and planning. This is a prerequisite for the strategic development of the objects of management. In this regard, we are convinced that the system for taking the post of district governor should be changed: the person taking it should not be appointed but elected. In our attempt to point out possible ways for improving the work of the district governor, we were inspired by our practical experience in trying to achieve unity in the existing differences between national and local interests.
