• Relevant information about researching projects (last 5 years):

1. The process of transition requires the reform and modernisation of most aspects of public administration and service provision. By reforming the civil service, greater coordination and coherence will be introduced at the stage of policy formulation, greater accountability will be introduced vertically and the quality of service provision will be improved. However, in order to bring this about various steps should be followed and they will be presented here.

2. The reform of public administration of Serbia is a continuous and a long-term process which involves the Government and other state bodies to implement reformist activities. The PA reform is conditioned by the overall dynamics of other economic and social reform and the organisation and management of all three branches of the government. Steps to be taken are examined in this paper.

3. The reform of local government entails the restructuring of the local government form the supervision body and repressive administration to client oriented service. Besides, the decentralisation and democratisation as the main parameters of the reform, the reform request the managerial approach in the work of local bodies which results in the efficient and productive local bodies.

4. The Law on Local Self-Government modernised the organisation and work of the units of local government thorough delegation of competences to municipalities and cities and by strengthening their financial potentials. Instead of complex and inefficient system that existed before, the system of division of powers between the assembly as the as the legislative body and the president of the municipality as the representative of executive power.
