Abstract

Public administration aims to regulate the functioning of society. Public administration is a mediator between the government, civil society, private sector and citizens. Only with a developed public administration, professional and accountable, the country can be efficient and functional. Reforms in public administration in our country after independence as a sovereign country, represent an important dimension of the priorities of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, to create a modern administration, although it remains necessary to proceed in further reforming of public administration . The current reforms are based on laws, regulations and standards for internal organization and systematization of jobs in the state administration, which regulate the organization and operation, method of work and decision-making procedures, cooperation with other institutions provided by the constitution and other legal acts that define the guiding principles of our country and the Law on State Administration which includes the organization of state administration in the Republic of Kosovo, being harmonized with the Constitution of the country and the standards of the European Union. This paper discusses the organization and functioning of the state administration of the Republic of Kosovo, including a brief historical summary of the management structures of the United Nations more specifically by UNMIK, moving from the common administration with UNMIK into self-governance. Also, this paper presents the state administration of Kosovo by their organization and basic operations and main functions of the state administration starting from the implementation of the policy defined and implemented laws, other provisions and general acts to the making of administrative and other tasks provided by law
