Croatian Public Administration On The Road To The European Union: What To Expect While Expecting?

The good administration is a prerequisite for the effective membership in the EU but also for the success of the European project in general. Croatia embarked on the road to the EU, conducting the necessary administrative reforms in order to achieve desired level of administrative capacity. The reforms conducted so far are focused on legal adjustments of the general public administrative framework, in accordance to the standards of the European administrative space. This has not lead to the development of new values and understanding on the functioning of the public administration. Few further steps have to be made in order to change the existing paradigm of the public administration: more transparent and open public administration, better regulation and better quality of services. To achieve more substantial results of the reform, the learning process should help to the development of a new understanding of public administration and society relationship.
