There is no doubt that decentralization is the right solution in almost all cases. It allows local government and regional communities to take their destiny into their own hands and apply local solutions to local problems that are far from the priorities and vision of the central government. However, the flip side of decentralization is fragmentation – breaking up the state into excessively small pieces prevents effective governance and prevents true autonomy. Bulgaria currently has a relatively high level of centralization and at the same time fragmentation, which is more than visible, as well as its negative consequences.
