Mr. Đuro Nikač, Assistant Director of the Human Resources Department, emphasized the importance of career development in the civil service system, highlighting that systematic investment in employee development contributes to strengthening their professional capacities as well as the overall capacities of institutions. Ana Zečević, Head of the Human Resources Management Sector, presented the Ethical Protocol for implementing the career development process, with a special focus on confidentiality, data protection, and responsible handling of information throughout all phases of the process. Mr. Milica Vučinić, an independent advisor in the Human Resources Management Sector, introduced the model and phases of career development, from recognizing developmental needs and defining professional goals, through planning and implementing developmental activities, to monitoring achieved results. The meeting was attended by 23 officials from the Ministry of Defense, who had the opportunity to learn more about the implementation process and next steps through discussion. This meeting marked the beginning of the pilot project for career development in the Ministry of Defense, through which employees, with expert support from the Human Resources Department, will have the opportunity to assess their professional capacities and developmental needs, define directions for further development, and plan specific developmental activities. The implementation of the pilot project is an important step towards establishing a systematic approach to career development in public administration, linking individual development with institutional needs and contributing to building a professional, competent, and efficient public administration.
