(A) • Strengthening the rule of law.On this depends the success of all other reforms. It is necessary to put into action the recently adopted judicial reform strategy with the assistance of a concrete action plan and to reduce the number of backlogged cases; to carry out a problem for training the judges and prosecutors and other court personnel.
(B) • Depoliticisation of the public administration.The first move in the reform of the public administration should be to depoliticise it, which is achieved by recruitment according to merit (education and checks of knowledge) and not political connections. One of the solutions for the depoliticisation is to found an independent agency charged with recruitment in the public administration and in general the management of human resources. An alternative is to found a body within the Government that would be charged with this task, with the provision of the possibility of court appeals against decisions related to hiring. Beside this the foundation of an institute for the training of state officials should be considered.
(C) • Opening up towards the public. Like a person of good reputation, the government should not hide anything. Vigorous involvement of members of the public in the work of the public administration will be difficult; it is something that has not been totally mastered anywhere in the EU. Citizens should be deemed authorized to receive information about the work of the administration; civil society must develop into a powerful control mechanism on the work of the public administration and be its associate. The increase of transparency necessarily also requires a greater freedom of the media. This will likely be assisted by the new Media Law, but there is still no Access to Information Law.
(D) • Increased motivation of civil servants for their work.The motivation of the employees has a great role in the improvement of the work of the public administration. It must not happen that the government pretends to pay its workers and they in return pretend to work. If wages are given that are comparable with those in the private sector for the same level of responsibility and skills, the best staff will be retained. Since the budget puts constraints on the desired level of expenditure for the pay of employees in the pubic administration, additional motivation is required to keep the young and highly educated in the civil service. The public administration must not be perceived as a springboard for a career in the public sector; a job in the civil service should be a matter of prestige.
(E) • Additional criteria for promotion in the civil service.Promotion must not be based only on years of work but on performance at work, for which constant evaluation of the employees is required, caution being exercised to make sure this does not turn into an instrument for the involvement of politics. As additional stimulus, selective pay rises can be introduced.
(F) • Suppression of corruption. With good incentives, the desire to receive bribes diminishes. Although the first steps to do with the suppression of corruption have been taken in Croatia, more vigorous measures must be taken to step up progress in the area, and it is necessary to make the results as visible as possible to the public.
(G) • Development of a new culture among civil servants.It is necessary to set up new values and attitudes among those working in the public administration - to create a new culture. Civil servants should be more public-oriented and more interested in results, which can be achieved with stimuli that are not related to pay, such as public recognition and awards. It is also necessary to test public opinion about the civil services in an ongoing way.
(H) • Education and training.Training must not be directed only at the MEI, but spread vigorously throughout the whole of the public administration. People are the key factor in the quality of the public administration.
(I) • Higher quality work from officials.The quality of government officials should be an element complementary to the public administration, because after all a civil service can only be as good as the politicians and the objectives they set up. For the quality to improve, public pressure is crucial; the public has to insist that the politicians represent their interests. In addition, they need to be able to have further training, of the kind that ministers go through in the UK, for example. If nothing else, an environment of highly qualified assistants can be created.
(J)• Debureaucratisation.It is possible to contribute to debureaucratisation by bringing in various prices for the same service, depending on the speed with which one wants it to be done. It would be good here if all forms were easily understandable to the members of the public and if they could carry out some of the formalities of the administration online.
(K) • Monitoring the quality of governance.So as to be able to have ongoing monitoring of the quality of governance in all countries, including Croatia, it is necessary to do a lot of work on raising the quality of the governance indicators. This can be done primarily via in-depth and systematic research specially adapted to the given country.
