Development trends of modern society and the states in general and public administration in particular, and the impact of integration process on the development of democracy, raise the need for a meaningful transformation of public administration, starting from the development of professional human resources towards expectations of the society, the need for fulfillment and approximation of legal infrastructure in accordance with legal requirements and European standards, increase of administrative capacities, decentralization of central government by strengthening local government in compliance with the requirements of Charter for local autonomy, and technological advancement of the administration functioning. Following the declaration of the Republic of Kosovo as an independent and sovereign country, adoption of the Constitution and the legislative infrastructure, which is in compliance with the constitution, consistently was shown the need for reform of public administration in Kosovo, with the aim of building a modern, professional and efficient administration, always with the intention to be close to the citizens and provide fast, quality and financially affordable services.
