Mission

Our mission is to establish a friendly and an effective public administration, i.e. friendly towards users who are the reason for the existence of the public administration, and towards civil servants who are the nucleus of the public administration. However, in order to establish a friendly public administration, it will be our common task to increase the efficiency of the exploitation of human, financial and material resources and the know-how within the public administration.

The Slovenian public administration respects the principles of legality and legal safety, political neutrality and professional independence, openness and user orientation, expertise and quality, compatibility, rationality and efficiency.

Our objective is to secure the satisfaction of users and civil servants and to provide for a public administration, which will not only be comparable with public administrations of other EU Member States but will be, as regards an advanced organisation and the satisfaction of users and public finance effects, among the best in the European Union.
