The Steering Committee of ReSPA was established in accordance with the Protocol of Cooperation on the Creation of the Regional School of Public Administration signed in Brussels on 2 May 2006.
The Steering Committee consists of the representatives of the Protocol signatories from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo under UNSCR 1244/99, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The Member appointed by the European Commission chairs the Steering Committee.
The role of the Committee is to provide guidance and review progress in the implementation of the ReSPA institutionalization, training and networking agendas. According to article III.3 of the Protocol, the Steering Committee holds at least two and no more than four formal sessions in each calendar year (of which the calendar can be consulted). The sessions are as a rule held in the Western Balkan region.
The working language of the Steering Committee is English and all related documentation and communication is thus in this language. All meetings result in the adoption of formal decisions, which are also published on this website after their formal approval by the Steering Committee.
