Romania
Administrative Division
Romania is situated in south-eastern Europe and borders with Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Hungary, Ukraine, and Moldova.
Romania's administration is relatively centralized and administrative subdivisions are therefore fairly simple. The territory is divided into comune (communes), cities (towns and cities) and judete (counties). There are 2,686 communes (rural areas), 262 towns and cities (urban areas) and 41counties, plus Bucharest, which holds a similar status to that of a county. The 41 counties, plus Bucharest equals the 42 NUTS 3 units.
Each county is headed by a County Council and a Prefect. The County Council is elected and its function is to coordinate the activities of communal and town Councils for securing the public services of county interest. The Government appoints a Prefect in every county as its local representative.
Eight development regions (specific territorial entities without administrative status, or legal personality) have been created by voluntary association. These regions correspond to the eight NUTS 2 regions.
