Abstract
The aim of this article is to process the topic of extension of the direct mayor election in the European comparison which creates a context for processing of the development of the Czech political debate regarding the introduction of direct mayor election during the coalition government of Petr Nečas. Three main issues are analyzed through the content analysis of government documents- the proposed model of direct mayor election, a new position of mayors in the municipal order (local government system) as well as the possible impact of proposed changes.
A special attention is paid to the close relationship between the government proposal and the Slovak model of direct elections.
