MODELS AND CHALLENGES IN THE ORGANISATION OF LITHUANIAN TERRITORIAL STATE ADMINISTRATION ENTITIES
Abstract
Central state administration entities implement public administration functions at the territorial level through territorial state administration entities, which constitute a distinct component of the public administration system. This level is crucial as it directly ensures the provision of administrative and public services to individuals within the administrative units of the Republic of Lithuania, thereby serving the public interest. This article aims to analyse the organisational model of territorial state administration entities and the challenges associated with their organisation. The study of the layout model (organisational structure) of territorial state administration entities begins with an analysis of its legal regulation in the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania and other legal acts. The article first investigates whether the organisational model of these entities is established in the country’s main law or other laws of the Republic of Lithuania, and how detailed this model is defined in the aforementioned legal acts. Special attention is also given to the actual arrangement of territorial public administration entities within the administrative units of the Republic of Lithuania. The criteria and principles guiding these arrangements are examined, as well as the powers granted to the heads of central public administration entities to make decisions regarding the organisation of these entities. The conclusions drawn from the research are presented at the end of the article.
