Summary/Abstract: Public administration is the backbone for the efficient functioning of the political, economic and social processes.The preparation of the countries on the road to the EU depends from the quality of public administration, and established mandatory criteria that emphasize the requirement for public administration reform candidate countries. However, in addition to the Copenhagen and Madrid criteria, harmonization is required of public administrations of the candidate countries with the European administrative space. The aim is to offer an answer as to why good governance is required in Bosnia and Herzegovina and how the principles of European administrative space may affect the efficient functioning of the asymmetrical designed entities. The author points out that the lack of compliance with the administrative values embodied in the principles of "good governance" can not move forward on the path of European integration. The methods to be applied in the work because of the obvious differences of Bosnia and Herzegovina from other transitive countries, are the methods of analysis and its basic method of specialization. Hypothetical-deductive method is applied reviewing the existing knowledge about the process of European integration, which is reflected in a certain degree of criticality of the author and the constant review of existing knowledge on the principles of European administrative space in order to achieve the objective of the work. Results of the analysis indicate that we need Europeanization and modernization of public administration in organizational and functional aspects of the reform of public administration, stems from the characteristics of mismanagement inherited from the socialist political system, but also social characteristics of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt the European administrative space, as well as cooperation with other departments outside the borders of the European Union whose work relies on the principles of "good governance".
