The Government of the Republic of Serbia

In the service of citizens

Creating more efficient public administration to serve citizens

Belgrade, 18 November 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Marija Obradovic opened today the first Master Class for mayors and presidents of municipalities in the amphitheatre of the National Academy of Public Administration.

On that occasion, Brnabic pointed out that the goal is a more efficient public administration that would be at the service of citizens and told the mayors and presidents of municipalities that they are the face of the state towards the citizens and that is why they should communicate with them every day.

The academy will help us all to be one team and to share the vision of what kind of service we provide to our citizens, Brnabic said, adding that in Serbia, over 50 percent of municipal and city leaders have never been involved in that business or politics before.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the presidents of municipalities and mayors are given the tools to make progress in local self-government as soon as tomorrow, bearing in mind that citizens are the most important.

Another important aspect of the academy is that they come to study and that automatically changes their attitude towards work and responsibility towards the citizens, Brnabic said and pointed out that she has high hopes for the Academy.

Obradovic expressed her belief that the presidents of municipalities and mayors will work on the realization of strategic plans, and that they will equally dedicate themselves to each individual.

The Serbian government and the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government will be your support and partners in everything that lies ahead in the coming period and when it comes to reforms, modernisation and the creation of an efficient and up-to-date public administration, Obradovic pointed out.
