Abstract

The administrative procedure consists of all the rules governing jurisdiction, the external order of acts and acts adopted by the state and other public administration bodies in resolving the rights and obligations of citizens and organizations arising from substantive legal regulations in certain areas of administration. At the level of the state Bosnia and Herzegovina, procedural administrative legal norms are contained in the Law on General Administrative Procedure and the Law on Administrative Disputes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while in the entities (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska) they are also differentiated to those governing the administrative procedure and those which regulate the administrative dispute. The Brčko District is regulated separately by the adoption of a separate Law on Administrative Procedure of the Brčko District of BiH and the Law on Administrative Disputes. Administrative procedure is such an activity of the administrative bodies and institutions that have public authority that is tasked with, for the purpose of exercising the rights or the fulfillment of obligations, to ensure that their subjects objectively and correctly apply material regulations to specific cases, regardless of which administrative area is regulated by a material rule. The general objective of the administrative procedure is the application of objective law to a specific case, while the special (special) objective is the protection of public interest (general) on the basis of and within the limits of objective law.
