THE STATUS OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF CIVIL SERVICE LAW

Summary/Abstract: The legislation in force in Bosnia and Herzegovina on employees in state bodies does not include regulations on civil servants. Civil servant is a general term that includes state servants and state employees, as well as employees in public services. The legal status of civil servants can be considered by the analysis of laws and bylaws that regulate this area. The European standards of civil service law are developed within the European Council and the European Union. Since the European institutions had designated administrative reform as one of the membership criteria, the European standards of civil service law became part of a wider corpus of standards and rules whose purpose is to strenghten administrative capacities of the potential members of the European Union, as well as to modernize and improve quality and efficacy of public administration. These standards have been adopted in national legislations of the European Union member states, together with the principles of European administrative space, and also in the practice of the European institutions, so that they represent criteria for the evaluation of the institutional capacity of public administrations in European Union membership candidate states. The legal principles adopted in the civil service laws in Bosnia and Herzegovine are adjusted with the principles of the European administrative space and relate to: professionalism, imapartiality, responsibility, honesty, transparency, efficacy and economy. However, though these conditions are formally met, problems arise in the process of application of laws.
