Speaking to the present guests, Nevenka Savić, the State Coordinator for the Public Administration Reform has said that the Office has fulfilled a part of the task from the Strategy of the Public Administration Reform and the Action plan 1. She has reminded that in 2004, when it was formed, the Office had only two employees.
