THE CONTEXTUALIZATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW ON GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE WITH A SPECIFIC OVERVIEW ON THE CONCEPT OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACT

Abstract

Based on the premises that public administration should serve as an open, digitally developed and work-transparent public service, the aim of the paper is to analyze the notion and purpose of an administrative contract as a part of new Law on General Administrative Procedures. Simultaneously developed with the Public Administration Reform as its corner stone, several aspects of the law have been analyzed, just for the purpose of comparing novelties. Having in mind that such a contract represents a novelty here, but not in the European administrative space, it is our goal to determine and conclude whether this agreement provides an essence of citizens’ social and economic demands. The concept of establishing this kind of a ‘symbiotic’ contract finds its purpose in being differentia specifica from any other contracts, thus having government on one side. It still stands as an open issue how such a kind of an agreement will be fully executed, monitored and regulated.
