Abstract

The objective of this paper is to underline the deficiencies in the funcioning of Public Administration in the Republic of Macedonia. The issue of Public Administration reforms in Macedonia has been dealt with by other scholars, but the European Commission reports have not been analyzed years after receiving the status of candidate country for EU membership. The results will reflect the realistic assessments and objective perceptions of citizens about the functioning of Public Administration, based on survey conducted with the citizens of Macedonia, and also the evaluation by the European Commission. The critical assessment of the functioning of Public Administration in Macedonia in this study should create a positive and stimulating effect on public authorities to reform Public Administration in conformity with the needs of citizens and Euro-integration processes of the country.
