A great part of infrastructure elements is under the municipalities’ jurisdiction, so the municipality can be the logistics process promoter, in its turn logistics can support municipalities’ stability. However, integration is still expressed only as a territorial consolidation, not uniting infrastructure elements of different possession which cooperation could facilitate logistics basic principles introduction in business, financial and social flows ensuring. Presently the attention is paid only to business logistics in Latvia, not stressing the importance of logistics to the development of social problems, however, social problems solving and flows ensuring in this field could realize the EU requirements for big and strong regions.
