This article analyses the status of the development of administrative procedures in a general aspect with a specific view in the Republic of Kosovo toward the further need for new trends and simplification of procedures in light of social changes and in harmony with European standards that intend the protection of the public interest and protection of rights of natural and legal persons. Data study presumes on factual approach, an examination of the current legal framework ruling the administrative system, different government, and non-government reports on the effective functioning of the administrative procedures, empirical studies of the researched issue, managed cases, and other relevant issued papers. This research article presents an important implication seeking to promote the new models of an administrative system towards an administration that advances the rights of the party in the procedure by simplifying the procedures and providing more efficient and inexpensive services for citizens. For several decades, a dynamic development of the European Administrative Space (EAS) has been recognized, which can be best characterized as the growth of administration at the European Union (EU) level, with the consequent gaining of new powers (Siuciński, 2020). This study assumes that legal provisions from the administrative field should be more dynamic, adapting to the recent changes and transformation of social relations, especially the development of information technology (IT), enabling more modern, efficient and non-bureaucratic procedures.
