Decentralization of public administration, subsidiarity and delegation of considerable set of tasks (traditionally belonging to public administration) to organizations of the non-governmental sector are tendencies prevailing in most European countries and intensively promoted by the European Union as effective and socially beneficial solutions. Attitudes and actions taken by the stakeholders, active at various levels of local administration, are decisive for implementation and realization of the above mentioned recommendations.
