CONCLUSIONS
Two different approaches to public administration education exist, one in Yugoslavia and Serbia and one in Montenegro. In Yugoslavia and Serbia, except for the curricula in the law schools, the Faculty of Political Science, the Faculty for Organisational Sciences, and the European Centre for Peace and Development, there is no serious research on Europe-related public administration issues, nor do relevant training programs exist. Due to the current political regime’s tendency to isolate itself from Europe, public administration programmes have little influence on the actual practice of the field. In Montenegro, PA programs and professionals are actively involved in reform efforts.
Yugoslavia suffers from the current government’s tendency to isolate itself from mainstream Europe. This tendency is nurtured and works in sync with international sanctions, endangering the possibility for Yugoslavia to enter the regional reform process in a timely fashion. The regime will inevitably change, but the education and training gap could become too deep. Therefore, joint action and exchange is crucially needed.
The actual political and economic circumstances in the country call for a change of leadership. Subsequent change should restore some old democratic values and build new ones, shared with the rest of Europe. Administrative reform and reorganisation might begin soon, based on a revised, Europeanised research and training strategy.
