Hyrje

Qeveria e Republiks s Kosovs sht duke u angazhuar maksimalisht q Republika e

Kosovs, si shteti m i ri n bot, t bashkohet n familjen e madhe botrore t shteteve

demokratike e n veanti t prafrohet me sistemin e administrats publike t shteteve tBashkimit Evropian. Kjo krkon prmirsimin e funksionimit t sektorit publik si nj

kusht pr t arritur zotimet e bra nga udhheqsit botror n Deklaratn e Mijvjearit

n Samitin Botror t vitit 2005 dhe n shum konferenca tjera globale dhe rajonale.

Si shenj e prkushtimit t saj n synimin e prmirsimit t qeverisjes si dhe t

administrats publike Qeveria e Republiks s Kosovs, Zyra e Kryeministrit/Zyra pr

Qeverisje t Mir ka prgatitur kt Doracak pr Etikn dhe Transparencn n

Administratn Publike.

Qllimi i publikimit t doracakut

Qllimi i publikimit t ktij doracaku sht q t ofroj nj prmbledhje t shkurtr t

asaj se ka sht etika dhe transparenca n administratn publike si dhe t dokumenteve

ndrkombtare e kombtare n t cilat prfshihen apo prcaktohen t drejtat dhe

detyrimet e administrats publike gjegjsisht, shrbyesve civil.

Si e till, kjo prmbledhje e shkurtr do t ofroj nj mjet t rndsishm i cili do t nxisorganizatat e ndryshme qeveritare dhe joqeveritare pr t propozuar dhe krijuar

praktika sa m t mira t puns n administratn publike. Njherit, ky doracak do t

shrbej edhe si nj udhzues pr qytetart e thjesht rreth detyrave dhe obligimeve q

administrata publike ka n ofrimin e shrbimeve ndaj tyre prkatsisht, pr cilsin e

ktyre shrbimeve si pjes e etiks s nj administrate publike profesionale dhe t

paanshme. Po ashtu, ky doracak ofron edhe nj pasqyr t shkurtr rreth t drejtave t

qytetarve pr qasje n dokumentet publike si nj nga t drejtat themelore n sigurimin

e funksionimit t shtetit ligjor ku, qeveria dhe administrata japin llogari para qytetarit,

ndaj t cilit kan prgjegjsi, prgjegjsi kjo e cila buron nga vet vota e lir e qytetarit.

Synimi

Sikurse n t gjitha vendet n tranzicion edhe n Republikn e Kosovs ekziston nj

nevoj dhe domosdoshmri pr ndrgjegjsimin dhe edukimin e vet institucioneve pr

etikn dhe transparencn n administratn publike. Ky doracak ka si synim


7/65

7

prmirsimin e politikave t qeveris sa i prket etiks dhe transparencs si dhe t rris

ndrgjegjsimin e qytetarve n zgjedhjet e rndsishme publike.

Ky doracak do t ofroj nj pasqyr pr nj Administrat Publike t depolitizuar dhe

profesionale, t zhvilluar duke u bazuar n politikat dhe n praktikat m t mira

ndrkombtare t menaxhimit t burimeve njerzore. Vetm nj qasje e till do tsiguroj krijimin dhe zhvillimin e nj administrate publike t pa korruptuar dhe t

pavarur nga ndikimi politik, e cila baz themelore t funksionimit t saj ka ligjin dhe si e

till sht n shrbim t t gjith shoqris.

Parandalimi dhe luftimi i korrupsionit n administratn publike duhet t jet rrnjsor

dhe t gjitha institucionet kosovare duhet t punojn n bashkpunim t ngusht me

njra tjetrn. Duhet t kthehet besimi i publikut dhe duhet t rritet rezistenca kundr

sjelljes dhe praktikave t korruptuara. Mungesa e transparencs n marrdhniet midis

politikanve, shrbyesve civil, udhheqsve publik, familjeve dhe bizneseve t tyrekrijon nj ambient t mbyllur ku ka mundsi dhe ku presioni i korrupsionit sht i lart.

Prkufizimet

Etika q nga filozoft e lasht grek e deri m sot etika sht prkufizuar dhe ndar n

aspekte t ndryshme si pjes e filozofis. Gjithsesi prmbledhur shkurt dhe thjesht mund

t thuhet se etika sht nj sistem i parimeve morale apo nj kod i sjelljes s grupeve

shoqrore, fetare apo civile i cili qartson t mirn nga e keqja dhe zgjedhjen e individit

pr t br at q sht e mir.2

Transparenca si prdoret n shkencat shoqrore dhe n kontekstin shoqror

prgjithsisht nnkupton t qent i hapur, komunikimin dhe dhnien e prgjegjsis. N

fakt sht nj prdorim metaforik i kuptimit objekt transparent q do t thot i

tejdukshm. S ktejmi procedurat transparente nnkuptojn mbledhjet e hapura,

publikimin e gjendjes financiare, legjislacionit pr lirin e informimit, rishikimet

buxhetore, auditimet etj.3

Qasja n dokumentet publike nnkupton t drejtn q do qytetar n fardo kohe,

gjat orarit t rregullt t puns, ka t drejtn t krkoj dhe t qaset n t gjithdokumentet publike q kan t bjn me pronn, legjislacionin, vendimet e qeveris,

vendimet e gjykatave etj. Si e till qasja n dokumentet publike shihet si nj gur themeli

kryesor i vendosjes dhe funksionimit t demokracis pasi siguron mundsin q vet

qytetari t hulumtoj dhe t vej para prgjegjsis organet e ndryshme t qeverisjes duke

filluar nga niveli m i lart i qeveris e deri n nivelin e zyrave lokale.4

Administrata publike - sht prgjegjse pr zbatimin e politikave qeveritare si dhe nj

disiplin akademike e cila studion kt zbatim dhe q prgatit shrbyesit civil pr kt

lloj pune. Disa prej prkufizimeve m t thjeshta dhe m shpesh t ofruara pr terminadministrat publike jan: drejtimi i programeve publike si dhe prkthimi i

politikave n realitetin q qytetart e shohin do dit.5

Shrbim civil- sht nj term i cili ka dy kuptime t veanta:

1. Nj deg e shrbimit qeveritar n t ciln individt jan t punsuar n bazt meritave profesionale t dshmuara n provimet garuese.

2. Grupi i punonjsve n fardo agjencie qeveritare prpos atyre ushtarake.6Shrbyesi civil- sht nj punonjs n sektorin publik civil i cili punon pr nj

departament apo agjenci qeveritare. Ky term gjithmon prjashton shrbimet ushtarake,

ndonse ka zyrtar civil t cilt punojn n Ministrin e Mbrojtjes. Duhet theksuar se

termi shrbyes civil nuk prdoret njlloj n t gjitha shtetet. Prandaj varsisht nga

praktika e nj shteti n tjetrin ky term n disa raste prdoret pr t emruar punonjsit e

nj shteti sovran vetm n nivel shtetror apo rajonal kurse n disa shtete tjera ky term

prfshin edhe punonjsit komunal si sht rasti edhe n Republikn e Kosovs.7

Korrupsioni politik- n kuptimin e gjer sht keqprdorimi i zyrs publike pr

prfitim personal. N praktik t gjitha llojet e qeveris jan t ndjeshme ndaj

korrupsionit politik. Shkalla e korrupsionit dallon shum, nga prdorimet e pakta t

ndikimit dhe pozits pr t dhn apo pranuar ndere, e deri te mit dhnia e

institucionalizuar e m shum.

Pika prfundimtare e korrupsionit politik sht kleptokracia, q n kuptimin e plot t

fjals do t thot sundimi nga vjedhsit, kur hiqet dor edhe nga shtirja publike e t qenit

t ndershm. Korrupsioni lind si n zyrat politike ashtu edhe n ato t shrbyesve civil

dhe mund t ket shkall t ult apo t lart, t jet i organizuar apo i paorganizuar.

Ndonse korrupsioni shpesh lehtson aktivitetet kriminale si trafikimin e drogs,

pastrimin e parave dhe prostitucionin, nuk sht e thn se ai kufizohet n vetm kto

forma t krimit.8

Mit - sht ofrimi, dhnia, marrja apo krkimi i nj gjje t vlefshme me qllim t

ndikimit t veprimeve t nj zyrtari n kundrshtim me detyrat e tij publike ose ligjore.

Mit mund t jet pagesa e menjhershme me para apo ndere personale, premtimi prpages t mvonshme, apo ka do qoft tjetr q marrsi e mon si t vlefshme.9

Reforma e Administrats Publike n Republikn e Kosovs

N vitet e fundit shohim se Republika e Kosovs ka shprehur gjithnj e m shum

vullnetin politik pr t prmbushur kriteret e krkuara nga institucionet ndrkombtare

n lidhje me demokracin, qeverisjen e mir, shtetin ligjor, transparencn,

llogaridhnien dhe t drejtat e njeriut.

Parimet kryesore t Shrbimit Civil jan pavarsia, integriteti dhe qndrimi asnjans

ndaj ndikimit partiak. Jan pikrisht etika dhe transparenca dy parimet baz pr nj

qeverisje t mir t cilat pasojn me nj shtet ligjor me integritet si dhe me demokraci t

konsoliduar. Kuvendi i Republiks s Kosovs pikrisht pr ti mnjanuar dhe

parandaluar problemet n administratn publike dhe pr t vendosur bazat e nj

administrate profesionale dhe t depolitizuar ka aprovuar Ligjin pr Shrbyesit Civil.

Mund t thuhet se sa i prket kuadrit ligjor me t cilin rregullohet Shrbimi Civil,

Republika e Kosovs i afrohet standardeve evropiane dhe ndrkombtare. Por, ajo q

mbetet sfid e jona edhe n t ardhmen sht pikrisht vullneti pr zbatimin e ktyreligjeve dhe konventave ndrkombtare. Ky vullnet mund t ndrtohet duke e pasur t

qart vizionin pr vlerat q ngrthejn n vete shtetet m t zhvilluara. Padyshim se

depolitizimi i administrats publike sht nj nga shtjet kye dhe m sfiduese. Qeveria

e Republiks s Kosovs sht zotuar se do t bj m shum n kt drejtim dhe

pikrisht reformat n administratn publike, krijimi i nj administrate profesionale, t

depolitizuar dhe n shrbim t qytetarit jan treguesit m t mir t prpjekjeve t

vazhdueshme pr t prmbushur kt zotim.

Mirpo t gjith e dim se jo vetm n Republikn e Kosovs por edhe n vendet m t

zhvilluara duhet koh q administrata publike t shndrrohet n nj administratmoderne, jo politike, funksionale dhe n shrbim t qytetarit. Qeveria e Republiks s

Kosovs po ndrton nj sistem t riorganizuar dhe ngritje t kapaciteteve n institucione

pr planifikim, zhvillim dhe diskutim t politikave publike n mnyr transparente,

prfshir edhe politikat pr integrim n BE. sht br ngritja e cilsis s shrbimeve

administrative q ofrohen nga institucionet e Qeveris pr qytetart, bizneset dhe pr

vetveten, duke racionalizuar proceset administrative. Mirpo, prap se prap pr vet

institucionet por, edhe pr qytetart reformat nuk jan t lehta.

Reforma n Administratn Publike n Republikn e Kosovs udhhiqet nga nj vizionrealist. Ky vizion i Qeveris s Republiks s Kosovs sht prmbledhur n tri zotime.

Qeveria e Republiks s Kosovs po angazhohet q deri n fund t vitit 2013

Administrata Publike do t jet m shum:

1. Efektive n ofrimin e shrbimeve administrative pr t gjith qytetart e saj dhebizneset, si u vrtetua me rritje t konsiderueshme n vlersimet e prgjithshme t

klientve t knaqur n baz t anketave t rregullta vjetore;

2. Efikase nga pikpamja e kostos, si u vrtetua me zbritjen e konsiderueshme tshpenzimeve t prgjithshme n raport me vlern e transferuar te konsumatort

prmes shrbimeve t integruara n buxhetet vjetore;

3. Evropiane n metodat e saj t organizimit dhe puns, me prmirsimet e shnuaran cilsin e prgjithshme administrative t vrtetuara n raportet e Komisionit

Evropian mbi prparimin ton drejt qllimit pr integrim evropian.10

Baza ligjore e doracakut:

Baza ligjore pr hartimin dhe botimin e ktij doracaku buron nga disa dokumente

njhersh: Konventa e Kombeve t Bashkuara Kundr Korrupsionit, Kodi ndrkombtar i sjelljespr shrbyesit civil, Kushtetuta e Republiks s Kosovs, Kodi i mirsjelljes pr npunsit civil,

Ligji pr shrbyesit civil, Ligji pr qasje n dokumentet publike, Ligji pr prokurimin publik,

Rregullore komunale mbi transparencn.

Konventa e Kombeve t Bashkuara Kundr Korrupsionit11

Duke par prhapjen e vazhdueshme t korrupsionit n nivel kombtar dhe

ndrkombtar si dhe format e ndryshme t shfaqjes s ksaj dukurie, e cila paraqet njkrcnim t vazhdueshm ndaj zhvillimit dhe prparimit t shtetit ligjor, Kombet e

Bashkuara kan miratuar Konventn Ndrkombtare Kundr Korrupsion.

Me an t ksaj konvente synohet q t vendosen disa rregulla baz si dhe obligime q

do shtet nnshkrues i merr prsipr detyrimet n luftn kundr korrupsionit si n nivel

kombtar ashtu edhe n at ndrkombtar. Njherit, n kt konvent veohen edhe

bazat e politikave t cilat do t ndihmojn n zhvillimin e ligjeve dhe praktikave q do t

mundsojn krijimin e nj administrate publike profesionale dhe t liruar nga do forme keqprdorimit. N kt rast bie n sy se etika dhe transparenca jan dy prej parimeve

kryesore q krijojn bazn n luftimin e suksesshm t korrupsionit. N veanti, etika

dhe transparenca prmenden n nenet 7, 9, 10, 12 dhe 13 t kapitullit pr masat

parandaluese, t ksaj konvente ku mes tjerash shprehimisht thuhet:

shrbyesve civil dhe aty ku sht e prshtatshme, zyrtarve tjer q nuk

a) Bazuar n parimet e efikasitetit, transparencs dhe kritereve objektive si janmerita, barazia dhe zotsia.

b) Q t prkrahin tabelat prkatse t pagave sipas shprblimit dhe barazis, duke

pasur parasysh nivelin e zhvillimit ekonomik t Shtetit Pal;

c) Q prkrahin trajnimet edukuese dhe trajnuese t cilat iu mundsojn q t

specializuara pr t prmirsuar vetdijesimin e tyre rreth rrezikut tkorrupsionit n lidhje me fushn e funksioneve t tyre. Programet e tilla mund t

Introduction

The Government of the Republic of Kosovo is maximally engaged that the Republic of

Kosovo, as the youngest state of the world, joins the great world family of democratic

states and that in particular it is associated with the public administration system ofEuropean Union states. This requires the improvement of the public sector functioning

as a precondition to achieve the commitments made by world leaders in the Declaration

of the Millennium in the World Summit of 2005 and in many other global and regional

conferences.

As a sign of its commitment in improving the governance and also the Public

Administration, the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, Office of the Prime

Minister/ Office on Good Governance has prepared this manual for ethics and

transparency in public administration.

The aim of the publication of this manual

The purpose of publication of this manual is to provide a brief summary of what is

ethics and transparency in public administration, and of international and national

documents in which include or define the rights and obligations of public

administration that is civil servants.

As such this brief summary will offer an important instrument which will incitedifferent governmental and non-governmental organizations to propose and create the

best possible practices in public administration. At the same time this manual will serve

as a guide for ordinary citizens regarding the duties and obligations that public

administration has in providing services to them, in other words the quality of these

services as a part of ethics of a professional and impartial public administration. Also

this manual provides a brief overview about the rights of the citizens to access on public

documents as one of the fundamental rights in ensuring the functioning of the legal state

where the government and administration are accountable to citizens, this responsibility

which stems from the free vote of citizens.

and education of its institutions for ethics and transparency in public administration.

transparency and to increase awareness of citizens in important public elections.

This manual will provide an overview of a depoliticized public administration and

professional, developed based on the best international policies and practices oh human

resource management. This approach is the only way to ensure the creation and

development of a public administration free of corruption and independent of political

influence, the core of its functioning being the law and as such serving the whole society.

Preventing and combating corruption should be radical and all Kosovo Institutions

should work in close cooperation with each other. The public trust must be regained and

the resistance against corrupted attitude and practices should be increased. Lack of

transparency in the relations among politicians, civil servants, public leaders, families

and their businesses creates a closed environment where the possibilities for misuse and

the pressure of corruption is high.

Definitions

Ethics from the ancient Greek philosophers until today ethics has been defined and

separated in different aspects as a part of philosophy. However to mesmerize it can be

said that ethics in public administration is a system of more principles or a Code of

Conduct of Civil Servants and also social, religious and civil groups which clarifies the

good from the bad and the choice of the individual to do the right thing.37

Transparency as it is used in social sciences and in social context in general impliesopenness, communication and accountability. In fact it is a metaphorical use of the term

transparent which means see through. Hence transparent procedures imply open

meetings, publication of the financial state, legislation for the freedom of information,

budget reviews and auditions etc.38

Access to public documents implies the right that every citizen at any time during the

working hours has the right to request and to access to all public documents regarding

property, legislation, government decisions, court decisions etc. As such access to public

documents is regarded as a foundation of the establishment and functioning of

democracy since it ensures the opportunity for the citizen himself to investigate andmeet different governmental bodies with their responsibilities, starting from the highest

level of the government to the local offices level.39

Public Administration is responsible to apply governmental policies and it is an

academic discipline which studies this application and prepares the civil servants for

this kind of job. Most simple and most often offered definitions for the term public

administration are: managing of public programs and translation of policies in the

reality the citizens see every day.40

Civil service this is a term that has two meanings:

1. A branch of governmental service in which the individuals are hired based onprofessional merits proven on competitive tests.

2. The group of workers in any governmental agency except military.41Civil servant is an employee of the public sector that works for a department or

governmental agency. This term always excludes the military services, although there

are civil servants employed at the Defence Ministry. It must be emphasised that the

term civil servant is not used alike in all countries. Therefore depending on the practices

of individual states this term in some cases is used to name the employees of a sovereign

state only at state or regional level and in other cases it also includes the municipal

employees as is the case in the Republic of Kosovo.42

Political corruption in the broad sense is the abuse of public office for personal gain.

In practice all types of government are vulnerable to political corruption. The level of

corruption varies, from low use of position and influence to give or accept favours, up to

bribe and institutionalised giving and more. The final point of political corruption iskleptocracy which in the broad term of the word means rule of thieves, when even the

public pretending of being honest ceases.

In recent years we see that the Republic of Kosovo has expressed more and more the

political will to fulfil the required criteria from international institutions regarding

democracy, good governance, legal state, transparency, accountability and human

rights. Corruption begins in political offices as well as in those of civil servants and can

be of a low or high level, organised or non organised. Although corruption usually

facilitates criminal activities such as drug trafficking, money laundry and prostitution, it

is not said that it will be confined only at these types of crime.43

Bribe - is offering, giving, taking or asking a valuable thing with the purpose of

influencing the actions of an official contrary to his public or legal obligations. Bribe can

be the immediate payment of cash or personal favours, the promise for latter payment,

or whatever else that the receiver considers as valuable.44

Public Administration Reform in the Republic of Kosovo

In recent years we notice that the Republic of Kosovo has increasingly expressed the

political will to meet the required criteria from international institutions regarding the

democracy, good governance, rule of law, transparency, accountability and human

rights.

The main principles of civil service are: independence, integrity and neutral attitude

towards the influence of party. It is exactly ethics and transparency which are two basic

principles for good governance which correspond with a legal state with integrity and

with the consolidated democracy. The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo in order to

avoid and prevent problems in the public administration and to establish a basis for a

professional and depoliticized administration has approved the Law on Civil Servants.

It can be said that regarding the legal frame by which the civil service is regulated, the

republic of Kosovo closer to European and International Standards. But what remains a

challenge for us in the future is exactly the will to implement these laws and

international conventions. This can be build on by having a clear vision for the values

which incorporate the most developed countries. Undoubtedly depoliticising of thePublic Administration is one of the key and most challenging issues. The Government of

the Republic of Kosovo is committed to do more in this direction and it is the reform of

public administration, creation of a professional administration, depoliticised and in the

service to the citizens are the best indicators for the continuous efforts to fulfil this

commitment.

But we all know that not only in the Republic of Kosovo but also in the most developed

places it takes time for the public administration to become modern, non political,

functional and in services to the citizens. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo is

building a reorganized system and increase of capacities in planning institutions,development and discussion of public policies in a transparent way, including policies

of integration in EU. There has been an increase of quality in the administrative services

which are offered by the institutions of the Government for the citizens, businesses and

44 http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/bribery


32/65

32

for the institutions themselves, by rationalizing the administrative processes. But

nevertheless the reforms are not easy for the citizens and institutions.

Public Administration Reform in the Republic of Kosovo is lead by a realistic vision.

This vision of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo is summarized in three

pledges. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo is committed that the publicadministration until the end of 2013 will be more:

1. Effective in providing administrative services to all its citizens and businesses, asit is proven with a considerable increase in overall ratings of satisfied clients

based on regular annual surveys;

2. Coast effective, as it was proven with the considerable decrease of totalexpenditures in relation to the transfer value to costumers through integrated

services in the annual budgets;

3. European in its methods of organization and work, with marked improvementsin overall quality of administrative, verified in the European Commission report

s on our progress towards the goal for European integration.45

Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, Civil Servant Code of Conduct, Law on CivilServants, Law on Access to public Documents, Law on Public Procurement, Municipal

United Nation Convention against Corruption46

Seeing the continues spread of corruption at national and international level as well as

various forms of occurrence of this phenomenon which poses a continuous threat to the

development and the progress of a legal state, United Nations have approved an

International Convention Against Corruption.

Through this convention it is aimed to set some basic rules and obligations that every
