Other Units
The Sejmik of the Voivodeship may apply an additional, auxilliary subdivision level which is called district (Valruzian: Rejencja). By the decision of Sejmik, a group of counties, municipialities may be asociated into districts. Usually districts consist of counties and municipialites with a simmilar economic profile and those which are considered to be closely related in both cultural and economic way. The aim of districts is to establish a platform of mutual and sustainable growth for every entity within the district. Counties and municipialities within the districts are required to establish friendly, economic ties and a program of labour allocation which reduces the unemployment. The decision of the Sejmik must be approved by the authorities within the counties and municipialites which are supposed to be part of the district.
