Working Meeting Held on the New Procedure for Evaluating Civil Servants’ Performance

As part of the project “Human Resource Management in Local Self-Government – Phase 3”, implemented by the Council of Europe (Centre of Expertise for Multilevel Governance) in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, a professional working meeting titled “Presentation of the New Procedure for Evaluating Civil Servants’ Performance” was held on October 3, 2025.

The aim of the meeting was to present the proposed model for evaluating the performance of employees in autonomous provinces and local self-government units, as well as to gather participants’ comments and suggestions in order to finalize optimal solutions that will support more effective human resource management at the local level.

The meeting was opened by Aleksandar Jovanović, Senior Project Officer, followed by an introductory address from Ivana Savićević, Assistant Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government. The proposed new evaluation procedure was presented by Dragana Janković, consultant of the Council of Europe, after which an interactive discussion with participants took place regarding the proposed framework.

This working meeting represents an important step forward in improving the legal and institutional framework for human resource management at the local level, in line with the objectives of Phase 3 of the Project, which began in February 2025.

How does the action work?

The HRM in LSG III project implementation methodology is based on capacity building actions, technical assistance to the beneficiaries at the national and local level, know-how of the Centre of Expertise for Multilevel Governance of the CoE, use of tools developed under the previous project phases (in close partnership with Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities in Serbia - SCTM) and networking activities with the CoE member States. Special attention will be given to peer learning, exchange of good practice, strengthening of HRM networks, locally and internationally, as well as raising the visibility of key HRM reforms.

 

What do we expect to achieve?

  • MPALSG has an improved framework, and LSGs have increased capacities to deliver effective HRM and professional development functions and planning at local level.

  • MPALSG has strengthened capacities and an improved framework to coordinate effective professional development and lifelong learning of public servants.

  • Improved effectiveness and efficiency in coordination, harmonisation and communication between institutions for HRM and professional development.
