he article deals with a proposal of a new administrative-territorial division at regional self-government level in the Republic of Croatia.

The main grouping criterion is importance and representatives of identified public functions’ dimensions. As a result of the analysis, seven new regions are created and they should replace the existing 20 counties. Each of the obtained regions contains counties with similar characteristics and similar capacity for public function completition
