Regional School for Public Administration (ReSPA)

At the daily level Public administration participates in all stages of EU accession, and is at the same time in the reform process to become a more reliable and efficient service for citizens and the economy. That's why the administration is the spinal cord of every state, especially in joining the EU, public administration reform is one of the most important areas for Serbia and the countries of the Western Balkans.

The key support organisation in this process is the ReSPA. This intergovernmental organisation through professional assistance and training, knowledge exchange, experience and best practice in implementing EU legislation supports regional staff co-operation and public administration reform in the Western Balkans.

Based in Danilovgrad, Montenegro, it was founded in 2010 and Serbia has been a member since its establishment.

The National Coordinator at the Serbian level is the Ministry of State Administration and Local Self-Government, while the invitations for education and cooperation are published on the website of the National Academy for Public Administration.
