In the ninth issue of 4liberty.eu Review, by investigating a number of national perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe, we attempt to find this elusive middle ground – which, bear in mind, does not necessarily have to be in the middle, at least this is our belief.

4liberty.eu and Mate Hajba/November 6, 2018March 19, 2019 /1 Comment

REVIEW #9: Elusive Road to Fiscal Decentralization in Bulgaria

4liberty.eu and Yavor Alexiev/November 6, 2018March 19, 2019 /1 Comment

REVIEW #9: State Decentralization in Poland Has Been Successful, but There Is Still Room for Improvement

4liberty.eu, Aleksander Laszek and Rafal Trzeciakowski/November 6, 2018March 19, 2019 /1 Comment

Decentralization in Poland was implemented in two stages – in 1990 and in 1999. The early reforms passed down central government tasks as well as some revenue-raising authority, giving it limited autonomy regarding real estate taxes, local fees, and other minor taxes.
