Abstract
The main goal of the article is to review and analyze the pros and cons when public services are provided by different levels of government in EU countries. Methods such as analysis and synthesis, comparative method, mathematical and statistical are used for achieving the goal. The results will clarify the distribution of responsibilities for public services delivery in EU countries, which seek to fully cover the principle of subsidiarity stated in the European Charter of Local Self-Government. Transferring more powers will lead to new responsibilities to local government and it needs to be more effective, as larger municipalities would be able to fit in faster and better. The conclusions are related to the more efficient and effective distribution of public services between different levels of government.

Fairness in the distribution of responsibilities, resources and powers is very important and is often violated due to the lack of connection between the local community and its elected representatives in the local government. This leads to a lack of control from local government on its taxpayers and voters, which has a negative impact on the choice of appropriate services, setting local development priorities, the efficiency of the use of local public resources
