Slovakia to help reform public administration in Serbia

Serbia will be able to rely on Slovakia’s assistance on the way to the European Union, as its experts will share their experience from Slovakia’s EU accession process to assist Serbia’s public administration workers in creating a more professional, abler and better prepared public administration in Serbia.

Serbia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Kori Udovicki and Slovakian Ambassador to Serbia Dagmar Repcekova signed a memorandum of cooperation between the Serbian ministry and the Slovakian Interior Ministry in Belgrade on Wednesday, following which Udovicki said that the document was aimed at improving cooperation between the public administration authorities of the two countries through technological improvements and sharing practical experiences.

Udovicki thanked Repcekova for managing to develop several bilateral programs with a number of ministries in a short time.

Repcekova observed that there was already an approved project providing for Serbian experts’ visits to Slovakia, developing cooperation and seeking ways to assist Serbia in the accession process.

The memorandum signed today is very important, as a mixed committee will be set uo based on it that will be looking for new ways to enhance cooperation, said Repcekova.
