Summary/Abstract: The process of decentralization is one of of the most sensitive processes within cultural policy. Some positive experiences in- heritated from the previous periods are not regarded important or relevant for presentday constitution of decentralized units. Consequently, they are designed according to present day po- litical interests and priorities. According to the Croatian experi- ences from the last twenty years, number of regional units and especially those of municipalities and cities is too numerous and is not too favourable for cultural development. Though the country has approved the set of documents on decentralization, the former is a so called „paper decentralization“, because doc- uments are not implementeted in practice.
