The indisputable importance of public management in the globalized world is reflected in the scope and number of tasks it performs in every society, financial means it uses and allocates by public policies, the number of people it hires directly or indirectly, as well as in developmental and strategic plans which will affect the future of human civilization. In the Republic of Serbia, public management reform implies adopting vast legislation, regulation and public policies, and their implementing, which should be the primary focus of current reform activities accompanied by further harmonization with EU legislation. Furthermore, modernization of our public management is required if the state is to finally become a true citizens’ service.
