Kalíšková, Barbora ; Mates, Pavel (advisor) ; Matula, Miloš (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the statute of the Municipality of the capital city Prague, which is the central authority of public administration and municipal government in the city. The city of Prague is not only province, but also corporate town and the largest domicile in the Czech Republic. The thesis analyses legal boundaries of the capital city in relevant acts (Municipalities Act, Capital City Act) and depicts the historical development of its administration between 1918 - 2009. The authorities of the Municipality of capital city Prague, its inner structure, competencies and major task in the areas of public administration and municipal government are also described within the thesis. It summarizes the relationships between the Municipality and local council (political leadership of the city), central offices of the public administration and subordinate units. In the end, it also sums the internal legal norms (financial management, requirements on the officers etc.) up and provides the evaluation of the contemporary state.
