The main strategies and government programs for reforming the public administration of EU countries (Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal) are summarized. The key institutions in the field of public administration in the EU countries, which coordinate the processes of public administration reform in the EU countries, have been identified.
