Reform of public administration

With the dissolution of district authorities as of January 1, 2003 and the transfer of their powers to municipalities with expanded powers (the so-called Municipality 3) and regional authorities, there has been a significant change in the manner in which public administration is organized and carried out in the Czech Republic. Since January 1, 2005, the number of municipalities in the Moravian-Silesian Region has been 299.

The goal of these changes was especially to bring the implementation of individual agendas closer to the people, with the decision-making process thus moved down a notch from the level of centralized bodies, meaning everything will be resolved as close as possible to where citizens live.

Municipality with Expanded Powers (Municipality 3)

The municipality with expanded powers will carry out the state administrative tasks which have been delegated to it within its administrative area. These are first of all services of a necessary nature which are most utilized by citizens:

residency records
issuing travel and personal documentation
driving licenses, motor vehicle certification, motor vehicle registration
business permits
payment of welfare benefits
child protection services
eldercare and care for disabled citizens
water rights management, waste management and environmental protection
state administration of forests, hunting and fishing
road and transport management
