The Regional Authority of the Olomouc
Region
The Regional Authority performs tasks within the
sphere of its independent powers set by the
elective bodies of the region (the Regional
Council and the Regional Assembly). These tasks
are defined by law as performance of independent
powers. The law additionally recognizes
performance of delegated powers. As far as
performance within the delegated powers is
concerned, the regional authority reports to
state administration authorities (especially the
relevant ministries) that charge the regional
authority with state administration tasks. The
authority, headed by a Chief Executive Officer,
is divided into departments, which are further
divided into sections.
