THE INFLUENCE OF EUROPEAN UNION LEGAL RULES ON THE RESOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: One of the basic obligations of each candidate state for joining the European Union is to harmonize the national legal system with the acquis communautaire. This represents a fundamental assumption for establishing a unique law of the Union and regulating social relations in a unique or at least similar way in all member states. Bearing in mind that Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a candidate country for joining the Union, must fulfill the mentioned obligation, the rules of administrative procedural law are certainly an indispensable aspect of harmonization. The right to good administration, as one of the most important institutes of the rule of law, established by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, guarantees the individual that the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union process his cases impartially, fairly and within a reasonable time. In other words, public bodies are obliged to resolve administrative matters and make decisions within a reasonable time frame in order for citizens to exercise their rights and pursue interests. The aim of this paper is to determine the level of compliance of administrative procedural law in Bosnia and Herzegovina with European legal principles and standards in the context of resolving administrative matters within a reasonable time. This can actually determine the level of necessary reform and modernization of Bosnian laws on administrative procedure. Good legislation of administrative procedure undoubtedly provide additional legal security for citizens in contact with public administration.
