Description:	The relevance of this study lies in the fact that, in the context of transformation, the reforming territorial public administration is essential for achieving the stable development of the state and improving the effectiveness of local-level governance. The Slovak experience represents a valuable point of reference for countries undergoing the reform of their public governance systems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political and legal aspects of the reform of territorial public administration in Slovakia, to identify the main stages of reforms, results, and possible issues. The research is grounded in a set of scientific approaches, including historical and systemic methods, along with comparative and structural-functional analysis. Based on the results of the study, the key stages of reforming the territorial organization of public administration have been established, starting from the post-socialist transformations of the early 1990s to the modernization of public governance following Slovakia’s accession to the EU. Each stage was based on a legislative foundation that reflected the interaction between political and legal factors. The study highlights the impact of reforms on the decentralization of power, the establishment and strengthening of local self-government bodies, the improvement of their governance capacity, and the development of democratic processes in Slovakia as a whole. Legislative changes were aimed at improving the administrative-territorial structure, introducing regional self-government, consolidating the principle of subsidiarity, and redistributing powers between central and local authorities. The difficulties encountered by Slovakia during the reform process have been identified, including excessive politicization of reforms, insufficient transparency in the decision-making process, worsening issues in the financing of local self-government, and a weakening of state control over the implementation of delegated powers. By going through a series of reforms, the Slovak Republic succeeded in establishing a model of territorial public administration that meets European standards and has become a foundation for the country’s sustainable development. The analysis of the Slovak experience has demonstrated both the complexity of the transformations and the potential for their adaptation in Ukraine, which, despite the ongoing war, is focused on carrying out administrative reforms in the context of European integration.
