Summary/Abstract: Public Administration Reform, as the ultimate instrument that addresses the rights, freedoms, powers and obligations of citizens, a modern state sends a message to the citizen about the level of social responsibility for the improvement of the domain of government that represents “the mirror” of the level of legal and political stability. Multiple organisational, functional, economic, personnel-related, technical issues of public administration require systematic and thorough reform that would result in the enhancement of the principles of public administration as well as the creation of a modern, democratic, “Europe-ised” image of the state administration. Public administration is not a pure technical body, but a mechanism whose function depends on the basic factor of the work process – human resources, which develop or obstruct the process of good public administration. Thus, civil service development and reform are another aspect of overall improvement of public administration and require a long-lasting and continuous approach to the modification of culture and methods in conducting public affairs.
