Sažetak
The objective of this paper is to present the financial operations of the local government- owned utility firms in Croatia and to draw attention to the problems of liquidity and high liabilities in some counties, problems that are capable of bringing about a rise in the prices of local public services. This preliminary analysis is based on data from the financial reports (profit and loss accounts and balance sheets) of the utility firms that in 2008 and 2009 were published by the Financial Agency. Population estimates were drawn from figures of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics. It has been assumed that the utility firms have presented the data in the financial reports truthfully.
