Sažetak
Budget planning is one of the preconditions for general financial stability and sustainability in the public sector. Consequently, local government units strive to improve their services in order to raise the quality of life and to collect more revenues in their budget. Due to fiscal decentralization, revenue sources for local and regional government units in the Republic of Croatia vary. The ultimate goal of local and regional government units is to create a business environment conducive to an increase in domestic and foreign investment, the growth and development of economics operators and employment, as well as long-term financial budget sustainability. As living spaces and centers of economic activity, cities have an important role as local government units in the Republic of Croatia. The purpose of this paper is to examine the level of fiscal capacity and financial sustainability of large cities in Croatia in 2017. Therefore, a comparison of financial sustainability indicators with reference values of large cities is presented. The results of the analysis showed that there is a significant difference in the level of fiscal capacity between large cities in the Republic of Croatia. Moreover, this analysis could serve as a basis for improving the fiscal capacity of large cities, thereby helping all government actors achieve long-term financial sustainability.
