Summary/Abstract: Local government reform was one of the main priorities of the first post-communist government, which was formed in September 1989. The 1990 reform included elected local government in municipalities, while the higher levels continued to be managed by the state administration. At the end of 1998, the government decided to change the territorial organization of the state and establish a new (higher) level of local government. As a result of this process, there are now three levels of territorial government: almost 2,500 municipalities, 315 counties (plus 65 cities with county status) and 16 regions. Self-government is the only form of public administration for the two levels: municipalities and counties. At the regional level, there is a dual structure - on the one hand, elected self-government, and on the other - a governor (wojewoda), appointed by the Prime Minister, with his/her administrative apparatus.
