PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION TASKS WITHIN THE MINISTRY OF SPORTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

The state administration is part of the executive authority of the Republic of Serbia. As such, it performs administrative tasks within the rights and obligations of the Republic of Serbia. State administration bodies include ministries, administrative bodies within ministries, and special organizations, all established by law, with their scope of work also defined by law. Considering that this paper focuses on the Ministry of Sports, the aim is to highlight the importance of the state administration's tasks within the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Serbia. The Law on Ministries regulates the scope of work of the Ministry of Sports. The methods applied in this paper are characteristic of social and humanities research. The most significant finding of this paper is that the Ministry of Sports systematically and continuously works on the development and improvement of sports, performing state administration tasks within its domain, as defined by legal and other acts. Without the Ministry of Sports, achieving the current and satisfactory level of results in Serbian sports would not be possible.
