Administrative Law

Every legal system, which rests on the foundations of the rule of law and strives for the principle of legal certainty, tends to achieve an efficient system of accountability to the greatest extent possible. The dissertation has the following objectives: to determine to what extent the concept of good governance affects the system of accountability of employees in public administration and its effectiveness, determine the extent of the disparity between the legislative framework and the actual implementation of various forms of liability of public administration employees, investigate the importance, role and status of moral responsibility of the Serbian public administration employees; determine the degree of awareness and knowledge of the code of conduct among employees and citizens, and its application in practice, analyse the legal and operational framework of management accountability, with a special emphasis on delegation and transfer of accountability; identify weaknesses in the Serbian system of appraisal and advancement of civil servants and potential areas for improvement; investigate the attitudes and motivation of employees towards professional development and its connection with the appraisal system; examine the potential of external forms of administration control to strengthen its accountability, examine the potential of internal audit as a tool for improving the public administration accountability and efficiency, determine the role and importance of local self- government in promoting the public administration accountability at the national level. Each of these objective aims to understand and promote various aspects of the public administration functioning in Serbia, in order to strengthen the integrity, efficiency and trust of citizens in institutions. Through a detailed analysis and comparison with good practices of other legal systems, this research offers opportunities to specify the directions of reforms that would improve accountability in public administration. The importance of this paper is reflected in the potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of the public administration accountability, thus offering a basis for its continuous improvement.
