Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of the Interior and
  the Ministry of Finance. 20/05, 106/05, 30/06, 86/06, 32/07, 63/07, 115/07, 31/08,
  35/09, 58/10, 101/10 and 81/13), the authority is obliged to respect the principle
  of legality and, within this framework, to take decisions within the time limits
  laid down by law. In our view, the proposed solution is already adequately addressed
  in administrative procedures where possible. For example, the Law on Administrative
  Fees provides in the fee schedule that the application for and the issue of a passport
  and an identity card in other urgent cases not specified as urgent in the law governing
  travel documents or identity cards shall be subject to payment of twice the amount
  of the fee. For an application for a driving licence in cases of urgency, the fee
  shall be increased by 50 %. Paying higher administrative fees in all administrative
  procedures for the priority handling of applications and the management of procedures
  would result in unequal treatment of clients in access to administrative services.
  The time limits for the conduct of administrative proceedings are laid down in the
  ZUP, according to which the competent authority must, in proceedings in which no
  special determination procedure is required before a decision can be taken, issue
  a decision and serve it on the party as soon as possible, and at the latest within
  one month from the date on which it received a complete application to initiate
  proceedings or from the date on which the proceedings were initiated ex officio.
  In other cases, the competent authority must issue a decision and serve it on the
  party within two months at the latest. These time limits are of an instructional
  nature, which means that they do not affect the rights and obligations of the authority
  with regard to the conduct of the proceedings. However, if the competent authority
  against whose decision an appeal is allowed does not issue a decision and serve
  it on the party within the prescribed time-limit, the party has the right to appeal
  as if his claim had been rejected. However, in the event of an increase in the number
  of applications, the institution of merit pay for increased workload, as provided
  for in Articles 22d and 22e of the Act on the Public Sector Wage System (Official
  Journal of the RS, No 108/09, 13/10, 59/10, 85/10, 107/10, 35/11, 40/12, ZUJF and
  46/13), may be applied in order to ensure that the applications are resolved within
  the time-limit.
