Abstract
We review the current state of understanding how accretion onto a black hole proceeds and what are they key elements needed to form relativistic jets. Since the theoretical progress is severely halted by the lack of deep understanding of the microphysics involved, particularly in the presence of strong magnetic fields, all proposed solutions have a status of models, and their selection has to be based directly on observational constraints.
