THE REFORMS OF THE STATE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN CROATIA

Javna uprava obuhvaća ministarstva, urede Vlade, državne urede i državne upravne organizacije kao središnja državna tijela. Javna uprava razvijala se kroz dugi niz godina, no značajniji napredak vidljiv je nakon osamostaljenja Republike Hrvatske 1990.-ih godina. Promjene su dodatno ubrzane zbog ulaska Republike Hrvatske u Europsku Uniju 2013. godine, prilikom čega su se zakoni i regulative morali uskladiti s europskima. Za državu i sve njezine stanovnike važno je konstantno raditi na modernizaciji javne uprave kroz različite razvojne strategije. Posebnu pozornost treba posvetiti pitanju kvalitete u javnoj upravi kako bi se zadovoljili opći interesi, što će se postići razvojem ljudskih potencijala, od čega su najvažniji doškolovanje i nagrađivanje. Pri ostvarivanju funkcija tijela državne uprave pomažu određena načela koja osiguravaju sigurnost i efikasnost rada javne uprave za njezine djelatnike i korisnike. Dugoročni ciljevi i smjernice za modernizaciju javne uprave u Republici Hrvatskoj dani su u trenutno važećoj Strategiji razvoja javne uprave 2015.-2020. Republika Hrvatska teži transparentnoj, učinkovitoj i uređenoj javnoj upravi koja bi osim profesionalnog poslovnog okruženja svojim djelatnicima pružala i kvalitetne usluge na zadovoljstvo svih građana.The public administration includes ministries, government offices, state offices and state administrative organs as central state bodies. Public administration had been developing for many years, but considerable progress has been made since the independence of the Republic of Croatia in the 1990s. Changes were further accelerated due to the entry of the Republic of Croatia into the European Union in 2013, when laws and regulations had to be harmonized with the European. It is important for the state and all its inhabitants to constantly work on modernization of public administration through different development strategies. Special attention should be paid to the issue of quality in public administration to fulfill general interests, which can be achieved by the developing human resources, from which the most important are education and reward system. In exercising the functions of the state administration bodies, certain principles ensure safety and efficiency of public administration work for its employees and users. Long-term goals and guidelines for modernization of the public administration in the Republic of Croatia are given in the currently valid Public Administration Development Strategy 2015-2020. The Republic of Croatia strives for a transparent, efficient and well-regulated public administration that would not only provide professional business environment for its employees, but also high-quality services for the satisfaction of all citizens
