INTRODUCTION

Good organization of public, and especially state administration is


one of the most important problems of all modern countries and so
as well of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Regardless of the complexity, the organization of public (state)


administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina is regulated in great detail
by a large number of regulations, be they laws or bylaws.
In its entirety, all of the regulations form the normative framework
and legal basis for organizing the administration, will be shortly
presented in the paper.
STRUCTURE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA )

The Dayton Peace Agreement

Determining the state-legal organization, the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina


does not mention the administration as a special form of state power, but conceptually
sets it as part of the executive power, neglecting that the executive power (head of
state and government)
This is how the administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina is governed and organized
:a) at the state level; b) at the level of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina; c) at
the level of the Republika Srpska and e) at the level of the Brčko District Of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
STRUCTURE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA )

Each level of government has constitutionally prescribed powers that are not legally and
politically subordinate to each other, but are based on relations of mutual cooperation.
Key laws governing the organization (Law on Administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the Law on Ministries and Other Administrative Bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Constitutional regulation of organization and actiononly (the Constitution of the


Republika Srpska and the Statute of the Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina)
contain provisions relating to the position and affairs of the administration, while the
constitutional documents of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina does not contain similar provisions
The Ministry is headed by a Minister. The Minister represents the ministry
and ensures legally and efficiently performing tasks within the
competence of the ministry. ( Minister reports to Parliament and
Government )

Unlike ministries, administrative organizations have the status of a legal


entity and can act independently on the market, self-financed. They are
divided into agencies, institutes and directorates.
CONCLUSION

Very complexed concept

Established that the laws represent the basic legal acts which regulate the
administrative system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its entities and the Brčko District
of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Administration bodies and non-state entities as executors of entrusted public


powers constitute a complex and multi-layered system of public administration
whose the complexity is reflected not only in the quantity of organs and
organizations, but also in the different nature of these institutions and bodies.
