ADMINISTRATIVE-COURT APPEAL AS THE PART OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL TRADITIONS OF SERBIA AND DE LEGE FERENDA
The history of administrative dispute in the Serbian legal system is the history of the development of the constitutional political system from the second half of the 19th century until today. The institute of administrative dispute adapted to the forms of government and state organization, political ideologies, and social circumstances. The lack of two tiers of the administrative dispute, and the impossibility of using an appeal as a regular legal remedy to remove a violation of rights where it may have arisen, raises the question of the legislator's value orientation and his interpretation of the constitutional provision governing this issue. Does the quality of legal protection of human rights can be provided by extraordinary legal remedies, and whether the absence of an appeal against the judgment of the administrative court ensures the real quality of that protection? The institute of appeal against the decisions of the first instance administrative courts is of exceptional importance for several reasons: due to the correction of possible illegalities that occur in the work of the first instance administrative courts; protection of the rights and legal interests of the parties to the proceedings; creating a unified administrative court practice and implementing the European standards.
STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
One of the most significant challenges for the development of public administration is the improvement of strategic planning. Each administrative activity begins with planning. A strategy is the way, an action plan and represents one of the leading methods to achieve the desired goal. Strategic planning involves four basic processes: scanning of the environment, formulating of the strategy, implementation of the strategy, evaluation and control. Responsibility for strategic planning in the formal sense comes to holders of political power (political officials). Strategic planning is the result of joint activities of different actors in the administrative organization. Political leaders and officials determine the general direction, financial framework and conduct political control of the organization, and public official analyze the situation, develop options, establish priorities and carry out other numerous tasks that prepare the implementation of the strategy.
