Summary/Abstract: The position of national postal operators is an actual topic from the time of forming of the first states to nowadays. The tendency of improving the business of postal operators changed from the monopoly position of postal operators to full trade liberalization. Today's attitude in most developed countries of the world is driven by the motive that the postal market has to be completely liberalized to get market-oriented entities in the final form. The opening of the postal services market caused a significant increase in the number of postal operators oriented towards more profitable segments of the market. On the other hand, the fulfilment of public interests with the universal service of the public postal operators is a considerable burden. This raises the question of the sustainability of such a state, i.e. whether liberalization has eliminated all the shortcomings of the monopoly position.
