Summary/Abstract: By conducting an analysis based on information of the work of the public administration in Niš, it was concluded that the public administration obtained solid results and achieved the most points in the area related to the Public services and human resourse management, especially in the part of the institutionalization of human resources management and effective protection of senior civil servants` position from unwanted political interference. Also, the area that monitors Public administration accountability, specifically Proactivity in publishing information on the official website and the area of Public Finances, in respect of the budget calendar and revenue planning, were also assigned high rating. What is necessary to do when it comes to the web-presentation of the city of Niš is to harmonize the content and technical standards with the Regulation on closer conditions for creating and maintaining the organ’s web presentation. The areas with the lowest ratings are: Policy development and coordination with regards to the transparency of the work of the city council and the preparation of drafts and decisions in public administration, then the area that monitors Public services and human resourse management, specifically the Openness and transparency of recruitment into local self-government. Given the fact that the city administration is not unified in the city of Niš, more precisely that there are several administrations, and that communication with all administrations was not uniform – the aggravating circumstance was the fact that the city of Niš did not sign a memorandum of cooperation on this research.
