Sažetak
Paper analyses the implementation process of the Strategy for public administration development in Croatia (2015-2020) that was adopted by the Croatian Parliament in 2015. The adoption of the Strategy is mainly a result of external pressures and mostly conditioned by the conditionality rules of the EU structural and investment funds (ESI). The lack of authentic devotion of domestic actors to public administration reform is evident during implementation process as many of the proclaimed goals are attained with great difficulties and delays and some of them are not accomplished at all. After the introductory chapter paper proceeds as follows: second chapter describes and analyses political and economic context in which the Strategy was adopted as well as the state of public administration in Croatia at that time. Third chapter critically analyses the content of the Strategy, its individual objectives and measures, their coherence and appropriateness for addressing main challenges of public administration in Croatia. Fourth part of the paper is dedicated to the implementation process of the Strategy and to the identification of problems and shortcomings that severely jeopardize its proper implementation. Conclusive remarks and main insights of the analysis comprise the final chapter. They are the basis on which several propositions and policy recommendations are formed that are necessary prerequisites for the modernization of Croatian public administration and for the adoption of main European administrative standards.
