“The public administration reform agenda in Macedonia-three decades of challenges and results”

Abstract

Democratic countries across the world are usually involved in a continuous process referred to as public administration reform. For Macedonia a former Yugoslav Republic, this reform is vital to them since it is a precondition set for them for a successful European Union integration. Public administration reformation in Macedonia is a step in the structural process of becoming closer to the standards of the EU, putting European best practices into effect, and adhering to the Principles of Public Administration. It is one of the essential conditions for the Republic of Macedonia's entry into the European Union and one of the top priorities outlined in the Accession Partnership. The agenda is continually updated with plans for modernizing and improving the administration. The core of the entire public sector can be said to be public and civil administration which the group and activities of every democratic activity depend on (Mehmedi S., 2017).
