FISKALNA DECENTRALIZACIJA U SRBIJI
FISCAL DECENTRALISATION IN SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: Decentralisation is one of the key concepts of governing in Europe. In this way, state authority wants to be close to its citizens in order to increase “democratic management” and the feeling of citizens that the state takes care of them. However, a greater bureaucratic administration causes higher expenditures which have to be financed. So, the problem of distributing tax revenues between central and local authorities accrues. This working paper has the goal to show the current model of distribution in Serbia and to make proposals how to improve this system. A special analysis will be made about local authorities in the region of Sandzak, because this region is one of the least developed in Serbia.
