Item type:Publication, THE APPLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN PRINCIPLES FOR GOOD ADMINISTRATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA DE LEGE LATA AND DE LEGE FERENDA(Varazdin Development and Entrepreneurship Agency, Varazdin, Croatia / Faculty of Law University of Split, Croatia / University of Split, Croatia / University Department for Forensic Sciences, Croatia / Faculty of Law University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina / Faculty of Management University of Warsaw, Poland / University North, Croatia / Faculty of Law, Economics and Social Sciences Sale - Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, 2018-06); ;Pavlovska Daneva, Ana; it is common knowledge that the organization, the functioning and the modeling of the administrative systems is a national question for every state, which leaves the European Union without a direct influence in the respective area. On the other hand, there is no doubt that by constantly emphasizing the public administration reforms as a key factor for integration, the Union becomes more and more relevant in that respect. Hence, the European institutions and organizations - especially the European Council - play a major role in the establishing of the fundamental European public administration principles. SIGMA is an organization also responsible for control over the fulfillment of the European public administration principles and gives directions on how to achieve these principles. As a part of numerous international acts, declarations and resolutions, these principles’ aim is to harmonize the member states’ governance systems in light of the way administrative bodies enforce their competences covering also the quality of services and the overall relationship between the authorities and the citizens. This way, certain European standards which, among other things, have a mandatory character are set. All the states striving to join the European Union have to undertake all the measures that will ensure a consistent application of the principles of the European administrative space and the acquis communitaire. Consequently, as one of the states claiming to join the Union, the Republic of Macedonia is also obliged to acquire such administrative capacities that will guarantee the application of the acquis communautaire - the general Administrative Law principles. This research is therefore focused on the importance of the European principles when speaking about the public administration quality, efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and responsibility. It analyses the legal framework where the European principles are set out, as well as the mechanisms the authorities and bodies undertake in order to ensure better execution of their responsibilities (e.g. electronic communication, enhanced inter-institutional cooperation and communication, training for officials and servants, etc.). Thus, by examining the applicable legislation which regulates the public administration organization and operation we will try to identify and outline the key measures to be taken by the policy makers as to ensure not just de jure but also de facto strengthening of the public sector. In other words, we are referring to the steps necessary to improve the quality of public services and to modernize the administrative procedure, while still achieving depolitization and higher ethical standards. This is in fact the basic objective of the Public Administration Reform Strategy which is based on the progress Reports the European Commission delivers regularly (annually) delivers to the Republic of Macedonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The state of human resources in public sector in the Republic of Macedonia(Institute of Economics - Skopje, 2017-12); In the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in the last seventeen years, efforts have been made to build a professional, expert and primarily depoliticized public administration in accordance with European standards. Unfortunately, we have failed to reduce political influence on the ‘meritocracy’ system, especially in terms of new employments, as well as on the progress and assessment of civil servants. Also, the professional development of civil servants was hampered by formal and systemic training problems, and they are implemented ad hoc generally without any order. Because of this paradox, the position of the Human Resources Departments in the official system is very similar to traditional ‘personnel departments’. The dilemma is whether the new legal solutions of 2015 (the Law on Public Sector Employees and the Law on Administrative Officers) will be an appropriate solution to the human resource management shortcomings of the past years and the citizens will finally receive a professional, expert and depoliticized public service working for the interest of the citizens. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
