Definitions
- 1 An administrative division of some Slavic states.
"It should also be taken into account, that the creation of okruga was carried out without consideration of the country’s economic divisions and regions’ economic potentials. The number and structure of federal okruga should be specified further. Therefore, given that okruga continue evolving as centers of governance over social and economic territorial development, change of structure and organization principles can be viewed as a long term task."
