Summary/Abstract: The European Charter of Local Self-Government, hereinafter referred to as the Charter, is a key document of the Council of Europe adopted on October 15, 1985, and it came into force on September 1, 1988. It was ratified by all 47 member states of the Council of Europe. The Charter projected standards for the most important segments of local self-government, such as positive legal position, i.e. concept, organization, control, financing, relationship with the central government, etc. The above standards contribute to the development and democratization of local self-government. The charter fundamentally understands local self-government as an element of decentralization of power and democratization of society. The charter does not contain a precise and universal, much less a unique model, but provides general principles of local self-government. The principles are broad enough for the signatory countries to build nationally recognizable and specific models of local self-government, which will still respect the same democratic principles, that is, make legal what is considered the standard in this area today. Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the Charter on July 12, 2002. which entered into force on November 1, 2002, thereby committing itself to its implementation. It should be emphasized that, according to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Dayton Peace Agreement, local self-government is under the jurisdiction of the entity. In this sense, the Republic of Srpska has the right to regulate its local self-government and harmonize it with the Charter. The subject of the paper is the analysis of the implementation of the Charter in the Republic of Srpska. According to its key parameters, the paper examines the level or degree of implementation of the Charter in local self-government in the Republic of Srpska. The research employs the comparative legal method as its basic method, along with content analysis, qualitative analysis using binary indicators, and legal synthesis.
