DE CONSTITUTIONE FERENDA

As for the ministries (and other bodies executing public administrative affairs) - if we vouch for a more detailed definition of constitutional principles of the structure, responsibility, and control of public administration, the key "points" in this matter would be: (1) to satisfy and protect legitimate public interest in exercising public freedoms and rights of citizens and their collectivities; (2) political responsibility of ministers and bodies they run before the Parliament (monitored by classical parliamentary supervision), and, particularly, criminal responsibility of ministers before the Constitutional Court; (3) deconcentration of state administration and its segmentation into degrees; (4) decentralization of non-state public administration; (5) constitutional institutionalization and legal enactment of the system of separate, specialized administrative judiciary, whose purpose would be to ensure a reliable, professional, and objective control of the legality of the work of public administration.

Key words:  executive, government, ministries, parliamentary system of division of power, more opened and substantial decentralization, ministerial responsibility.


VLADA I MINISTARSTVA,
DE CONSTITUTIONE FERENDA
Što se pak tiče ministarstava (i drugih vršilaca poslova javne uprave) - ako se opredelimo za nešto detaljnije postavljanje ustavnih principa ustrojstva, delovanja, odgovornosti i kontrole javne uprave - ključne "tačke" bi bile: (1) zadovoljenje i obezbeđenje legitimnog javnog interesa, u procesu ostvarivanja javnopravnih sloboda i prava građana i njihovih kolektiviteta, u skladu sa ustavom i zakonom, oslonjenim na priznate međunarodnopravne standarde; (2) politička odgovornost državne uprave, preko njenih čelnika, pred Parlamentom, a pravna, krivična ministarska odgovornost pred Ustavnim sudom; (3) dekoncentracija državne uprave, podela na stepene; (4) odmerena decentralizacija nedržavne javne uprave; (5) ustavno uvođenje i zakonsko uređivanje sistema zasebnog i specijalizovanog upravnog sudstva, radi pouzdane, stručne i objektivne kontrole zakonitosti rada javne uprave.

Ključne reči: egzekutiva, vlada, ministri, parlamentarni sistem podele vlasti, otvorenija i punija decentralizacija, ministarska odgovornost.
