Secondly, this institution is a part of the current system of local democracy. Secondly, this institution is a part of the current system of local democracy. Due to the pressure to implement the bottom-up models of governance, the full potential of this institution should be realized and discussed.

It occurs, that, in the changing reality, the institution of village representative should be supported with more than just the forces of tradition.en
