Abstract
Radical reforms have been carried out in the area of admission to the civil service for
many years and significant progress has been made in this area. This project aims at studying
the existing model of the admission to the civil service in the country, as well as to study
international experience in this field and, accordingly, to make relevant proposals in
accordance with international experience in this sphere. The project revealed that there are
difficulties in the field of recruitment to management positions in the field of civil service,
testing of candidates' professional (specialty knowledge) knowledge, as well as the payment
system used in the examination process. In this regard, in order to overcome the above
mentioned difficulties, the project proposes to apply a special system to check the managerial
skills of persons appointed to managerial positions, to apply appropriate procedures to check
the qualifications of candidates and to apply benefits to special categories of applicants. All
of the above solutions were evaluated according to the criteria of efficiency, effectiveness,
equity (fairness), feasibility (implementability) and flexibility. Second data, expert opinions
in the relevant field, as well as information on survey outcomes were used in the development
of the project. As a result of the analysis and assesment it was determined that in order to
improve the admission procedures in the civil service related to the mentioned problems,
civil service recruitment process (testing of knowledge and skills) should be improved, while
certain discounts should be applied to the payment system for participation in examinations.
