From the foregoing, it is necessary to give an answer to the question whether the planning and employment in the Republic of Srpska correspond to "the traditional way" of human resource management in public administration or in accordance with the application of modern concept of individualization of human resources management. The "traditional human resources management" leads to the numerous problems in the functioning of the public authorities, since the HR planning is not carried out adequately enough.
