LATVISKI

In short about the administrative division of Latvia

Before the administrative reform Latvia was divided in 7 cities of republican importance and 26 districts, but districts were divided in more than 500 municipalities. Over the last decade the number of municipalities slowly decreased as they joined in regions. It is expected that this division of Latvia will be very popular for some time - due to this here is available the old map of administrative division - although it is not in force anymore.

Parliament took a decision in 18th December 2008 about transition to new administrative division. Thus now in Latva there are counties which so far have not been fully defined, 9 cities and 109 regions. Regions still are divided in regional municipalities and regional towns - but these units do not have special administrative meaning. Former districts now disappear from the administrative division altogether.
