So that countries development and increase of the welfare of population would not happen on expense of development of some separate regions. Most important causes for uneven economical development of regions are different distances from markets and transportation related to that, as well as different level of the development of infrastructure. Most complicated dement of logistics is road network, which is equally important to ensure flow of material resources, product and people. Lately informational flows are becoming more important, where the main element of infrastructure is internet. Financial means are necessary for development and quality maintenance of infrastructure. Infrastructure in the larger past of regions is under management of municipality, do to this development of these infrastructural elements and quality maintenance depends financial possibilities of municipality. Foundation to municipality's financial abilities is level of welfare of inhabitants, which has to be connected with tax payments to municipality budget.
