ELIMINATION OF IRREGULARITIES IN THE WORK OF ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN BY THE LOCAL OMBUDSMAN

Сажетак

Development of a certain country is shown by the level of realisation, implementation and respect of human freedoms and rights in it. Every country, established on the foundations of democratic principles, assumes that citizen freedoms and rights are highly respected and realised. Therefore, a very important segment in a realisation of certain citizen rights and freedoms is a complete commitment and wish of a country, as well as its administrative bodies, these rights to be realised. In contemporary societies, the Institution of Ombudsman plays a role of a corrective element of a social system with the aim of identifying, responding to and eliminating irregularities and illegal actions taken by administrative bodies towards an individual. Republic of Serbia recognises the Institution of Ombudsman at three levels: republic, regional and local. The Local Ombudsman controls legislation, regularity and efficiency of the work of administrative bodies at the local level. When some irregularities in the work of administrative bodies are identified, the Local Ombudsman makes a suggestion for the elimination of these irregularities. Abiding the recommendations of the Local Ombudsman represents a key element in respecting and surviving of the Institution at the local level.
