The paper analyzes the normative regulation of the procedural administrative decision institute, which was introduced into the Serbian administrative process as a novelty by the General Administrative Procedure Act (GAPA) in 2016. The paper aims to addresses three research questions: to determine the legislator's goal in regulating this insitute, to identify in which situations such a decision has to be made, and to establish how effective that type of decision is. At the beginning of the paper, the author focuses on the concept of effectiveness, including different, mutually opposed, approaches to defining that notion. The author points out the conceptual misunderstanding between efficiency and effectiveness, and their unjustified equalization. The main goal of introducing the institute of procedural administrative decision is the aspiration for greater protection of parties' procedural rights. The analysis of the text of the General Administrative Procedure Act has yielded seventeen basic types of procedural administrative decisions: a decision on rejecting the party's request, a decision not to allow alteration of the party's request, a decision on suspending the procedure, a decision on termination of the procedure, a decision on imposing a fine, decision on request, a decision on execution, a decision on securing the execution, a decision on appointing a temporary representative, a decision on denying representation to a quack lawyer for unlicenced practice of law, a decision on proposal for restitution, a decision on bearing preliminary procedure costs, a decision on exemption from procedure costs, a decision on payment of costs resulting from the absence or unjustified denial of testimony, a decision on compensation for damage to the holder, a decision on the proposal for providing evidence, and a decision on ordering an interim measure. The author concludes that the institute of procedural administrative decision can negatively affect the effectiveness of administrative proceedings due to the possibility of its unnecessary extension.

The article analyzes the theoretical and legal provisions on the administrative procedural legal personality of a lawyer in Ukraine. It was found that his procedural legal personality can be divided into: ‒ general, which is available to a lawyer at all stages of the process; ‒ special, which is characteristic only for a specific stage of the process. It is pointed out that the administrative procedural legal personality of a lawyer is based on the norms of Art. 43 Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine and consists in the ability of a lawyer: 1) to have procedural rights and responsibilities in the administrative process (administrative procedural capacity); 2) personally exercise their administrative procedural rights and responsibilities during the lawyer’s representation of a person in the administrative process (administrative procedural capacity). It is noted that in Art. 45 Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, enshrined a provision on the inadmissibility of abuse of procedural rights, which a lawyer as a procedural representative must take into account when representing a person in administrative proceedings. It is noted that there is a division of procedural rights of a lawyer into general and special. It is emphasized that in addition to the rights of a lawyer as a procedural representative, he is also endowed with both professional duties and responsibilities defined in Art. 47 Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. It is noted that in addition to imposing duties on a lawyer, the legislator provides grounds for bringing him to justice (administrative procedural tort). A lawyer as a procedural representative has disciplinary responsibility. At the same time, the lawyer must remember that he ensures the protection of personal data about an individual, which he possesses, in accordance with the legislation on personal data protection. The author’s conclusion is made that the administrative procedural legal personality of a lawyer as a representative of a person is a complex category, which consists of his administrative procedural legal capacity, administrative procedural capacity and administrative procedural tort.

Amending the Code of Administrative Procedure, the legislator decided to introduce the possibility of conducting mediation proceedings. A mediator may be a natural person who has full legal capacity and exercises full civil rights. The mediator’s role is to ensure the conduct of the mediation process. They have the responsibility to stimulate the initiative of the parties by means of appropriate mediation techniques, as well as to create an appropriate climate of conversation, based on mutual trust and respect. The mediator uses procedural rights, which include: the right to read the case files and the right to remuneration and reimbursement of expenses related to mediation. The Code of Administrative Procedure also imposes procedural obligations on the mediator: it must maintain impartiality in the conduct of mediation and draw up a report on mediation. Participants in the mediation are also parties of the administrative proceedings and a public administration body. The task of the public administration body is to determine whether the arrangements made by the parties with the participation of the mediator fall within the scope of the generally applicable law.

Administrative process is a legal phenomenon that causes discussion and controversy among representatives of administrative law and the process both in terms of determining its content, form and functional purpose in the system of legal proceedings, and in terms of subjects, principles and substantive jurisdiction. Thus, the ideas of Ukrainian scholars about the administrative process are not always related exclusively to the understanding and legal regulation of administrative proceedings, and therefore textbooks and manuals on the disciplines "Administrative Procedure" and "Administrative Procedural Law" differ significantly in content.

The subject of research in this paper is the administrative-procedural form and stages of the administrative process. The purpose of the study is to analyze the essential characteristics of the administrative-procedural form and stages. It is stated that the evolution of the administrative process and administrative-procedural legal relations entailed changes in the administrative-procedural form, which were influenced by changes in the political system and the system of public administration in the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the improvement of the administrative process and its form ensures compliance with both the interests of the state and society, as well as the rights and legitimate interests of citizens. Attention is drawn to the fact that one of the characteristic features of administrative-procedural legal relations that distinguish it from other types of procedural legal relations – arbitration, civil, criminal, constitutional, is the administrative-procedural form, which is characterized by out-of-court, pre-trial and judicial procedures of proceedings in an administrative case, due to the specifics and features of its subject. The author notes that the administrative-procedural form is an external expression of administrative-procedural activity, and the stages are its internal content. At the same time, the stages of the administrative process are separate, but interrelated stages consisting of administrative procedural actions united by common tasks and intermediate and final administrative procedural decisions, procedural deadlines. Attention is drawn to a certain specificity of the stages of the administrative process, which consists in the fact that they cannot be clearly divided into judicial and pre-trial stages, as it is in the criminal process. The system of stages of the administrative process should be the same for all types of administrative proceedings, since this follows from the principle of self-similarity, when the particular comes from the general and corresponds to it. To determine the place of administrative judicial procedure in the administrative process, it is necessary to understand that the court, as a subject of administrative procedural legal relations, can enter into the process at different stages, and it is not the only subject of administrative procedural relations that makes legally significant procedural decisions. The methodological basis of the article is dialectical, formal-logical methods, formal-legal method and method of interpretation of law.
