The aim of this article is to analyse institutional arrangements of the National Development Plan 2007-2013 by performing a desk research on theoretical aspects, previous studies, policy planning documents, legislation and reports on the implementation of NDP. It is concluded that the approved NDP did not state several important aspects that were planned to be included, inter alia achievable results, implementation instruments and financing. It is proposed that in the future NDP should be drafted as a national investment programme or the EU funds planning document.
