Counties and communes are independent of the regional assembly which does not supervise and control them in any way; neither are they subordinate to any other authorities in administrative procedures.
The county councillors elect the county executive board, whose activities are supervised by the county governor.
The responsibilities of the county include all public administration activities that are outside the scope of communes' authority, such as education, public transport, fighting unemployment, etc. The commune is the basic administrative division unit in which the legislative and control functions are performed by the commune council elected every four years in direct elections.
