Administration is one of the factors of general social development and it influences the movement of all the other factors. With time, more and more jobs are characterized as social jobs performed by administrative organizations. According to the oldest understanding, the administration was considered to be the execution of political power. But regardless that these aspects of understanding remained until today, a new understanding of administration as a social function that is useful and necessary for the community prevailed. Officials are the persons whose daily occupation in state bodies is performing particular jobs defined by the Constitution, law, or any other regulation based on the Constitution and law. State employees are the persons who in governing bodies perform auxiliary-technical tasks. The process of admission to the civil service in local and regional self-government is regulated primarily by two laws – the Law on Civil Servants and the Law on Officials and Employees in Local and Regional Self-Government Units. It is elaborated in detail by decrees and regulations. A prerequisite to filling positions in these services is the adoption of the Ordinance on internal order and Plan for admission to service. Due to the specificity of the position of administrative officers, candidates need to meet certain conditions in order to be accepted into service. Also, the laws prescribe obstacles and advantages for admission to the service. Candidates then proceed to the knowledge and ability tests which are conducted by the Commission of Implementation of Public Tender in State Services. In local and regional selfgovernment units testing is conducted by the Tender Committee. After testing, the Decision on admission to the service is issued, or the Decision on the selection of a candidate, if the person being admitted to the service is a civil servant. As a rule, civil servants are employed for an indefinite period, but in special cases, they can be employed for a fixed period. The obligation of every administrative officer is probation and passing the state exam. Also, when performing the service, the official must constantly take care of his behavior towards citizens and other officials so as not to damage his reputation or the reputation of the service he represents in any way.
