ULOGA GRADA SARAJEVA U RAZVOJU REGIJE – INSTITUCIONALNI I FINANCIJSKI KAPACITET

The paper entitled Financial and Institutional Capacity as a Determinant of the Role of the City of Sarajevo in the Development of the Region was formed based on the invitation of the organizers of the international scientific conference Political-Legal and Legal Position of the City of Sarajevo in the System of Local Self-Government in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The topic was positioned as the sixth last topic within the second part of the conference entitled Socio-economic and spatial-urban assumptions for the development of the City of Sarajevo until 2030. The role of the City of Sarajevo in the development of the Sarajevo Region is determined by the financial and institutional capacity of the City of Sarajevo. This shaped topic reflects the problem of financial and institutional capacity of the City of Sarajevo in the context of its role in the development of the narrower and heavier gravitational environment. Two questions arise in this context. First, what is the financial capacity of the City of Sarajevo comparatively with the capital cities in the region, with the Sarajevo Canton, local self-government units? Secondly, what is the institutional capacity of the City of Sarajevo in the process of strategic planning and management of the development of the narrower and wider gravitational area? The answer to the questions is sought based on comparative analysis. The paper could help in understanding the role of the City of Sarajevo in the development of the administrative and functional-gravity region according city institutional and financial capacity.
