Valon Krasniqi1, Ylber Aliu2,

Abstract: In the former communist countries in general, and in Kosovo in particular, public administration

had its problems, and remains part of th e past failed system. Responsible and transparent public

administration, is not only a prerequisite for proper functioning of the country, but is fundamental whereby the

government implements its plans and strategies! Because of this importance, public administration reform and

its part that are considered problematic is essential for a functional and efficient relation between the state

administration, civil society and the private sector. A well-functioning of these reports has a positive effect for

poverty reduction, peace and stability. In d evelopment countries and transition economies, the importance of

public administration performance is key in strengthening administrative public sector and management

capacity building. In this research we are going to use qualitative methods. Analysis of data collection will be

done based on scien tific publications, research in this field, various international and local reports, field

strategies, laws. Conclusion o f this paper is that, modern, p rofessional and functional public administration is

important for clarity and development of the country.

1. Introduction

Functional Public administration is Precondition for development

This is the main thesis of the paper. All the following work argues this thesis. The variables of this

thesis are: independent variable 'functional administration', which affects the dependent variable

'precondition for development'. So, a prerequisite for the development of a country is functioning

public administration. This is a cause-effect link which will be discussed in this paper.

The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we elaborate on theoretical aspect the role of

public administration in the context of the precondition for development, focusing on the differences

and similarities between public functional administration and good features of the public functional

administration. While, in the second part, we elaborate in practical aspect the process of public

administration reform in Kosovo, focusing on problems, and chronological aspect, and the role of this

administration in strengthening the authority of the state.
