Summary/Abstract: Considering a short overview and analysis of comparative practice in representative EU member states it can be said that EU member states have opened large areas of public services for employment of non-residents that are at the same time citizens of some other member states, i.e. EU. In some of them citizenship is a conditio sine qua non for the access to public services, which is regulated by national constitutions. In some states national laws have been duly and successfully harmonised with the European legislation in the field of free movement of persons. In some other states, in spite of the adaptation at the legislative level the access of non-resident to national public services is still prohibited at the administrative practice level. There are still numerous difficulties concerning administrative convergence at the European level, this primarily resulting from the importance of the state administration and public services for the state sovereignty. The difficulties that are also present at the administrative practice level are reflected in insufficient information on the activities mentioned above, language barriers, difference in the levels of administrative practice and cultural perception, etc.
