Illner, Michal

It has been implemented in two stages. The first stage took place in the early 1990s when the constitutional foundations of the sysrtem of subnational government were laid down and the municipal tier was put inti place. The second stage occurred in the second half of the 1990s and in the early 2000s when the reform embraced the intermediate tier of government.
