Mechanisms and Initiatives of the Public Administration Reform in the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

Throughout the last decade, reforming the public
sectors has proven to be a demanding endeavor, both for the
developed and economically strong governments, as well as for the
states that are in stadium of development. The concept of
reforming and enhancing the performances in public sector is a
perennial problem that calls for urgent modification and effort on
the side of both employees and clients; it also calls for
reassessment of the existing models of managing. Minimizing the
expenses and enabling further advancement of employees and
technology is among the new ideas that should help the public
administration adapt in the near future, reach effectiveness,
accountability and creativity.
The primary aim of this work is to point out to the
significance of introducing novelties and initiatives that would
facilitate the creation of public administration that is clientoriented and with excellent performances. This study discusses the
mechanisms that could improve the effectiveness of the public
administration in Republic of Serbia through the implementation
and realization of reform strategies. A particular emphasis is put
on the validity and long-term adoption of control mechanisms,
instrumental frameworks, professionalism and other modalities
that, once implemented, would lead to a more stable, efficient and
EU-oriented public administration. Nevertheless, the question
arises here whether there should be a standardized evaluation of
everybody’s efficiency and progress in the public sector or
assessing performances still depends on the social and political
factors of each state?
