Abstract: The object of this work is to show the present situation of public administration in Croatia concerning the process of Association to European Union and to define in which direction the further adjustment have to go. Namely, Croatia has by signing the Agreement of stabilization and association started a number of great adjusting of legalization with EU legal acquest, and great changes is nearly all parts of social and managing life. One of the most important bearer of stated changes is surely the public administration. It’s importance is additional empfahized by Madrid criterion too, that is, administrative criterion for the state candidates. Public administration will be defined as the main bearer of all changes, and the success of all reforms is based on successful reform of public administration. During investigation of the present statement and sugestions for the future adjustments, we investigated the present statement in negotiations of accession between Croatia and EU for the reason that they define the direction and the way of adjustment process. In Croatia the monitoring is present from the moment of request, and the results are carefully controlled and are published as returning informations and measurement for further process. Furthermore, the Government and Ministry for Foreign Affairs regulary publish the reports of achieved reforms and national programs which on the best way show the position of Croatia in the complette process. Everything stated before make the firm base for evaluation of the present, and the proposal for improvement of the statemnt. Instead of results, we can conclude that the process of reform of public adminsitration is nenecesary and it is the last time to do it. For the reason that the process of accommodation lasts some time, it can be said that the formal steps are present, but it is not even enough, because there is lack practice, and the time is shorter and shorter.
