Summary/Abstract: After 1990, the prefect's institution, after years of absence in the administrative system, becomes an important institution of the Romanian administrative system.In this paper an attempt was made to analyze the legal evolution of this institution, marking as starting point the Law no. 5 of 19 July 1990 on the administration of counties, municipalities, towns and communes until the organization of local elections up to the present legislation.On a field of changes in the national administration, from an administration belonging to a communist system towards a European administration based on the principles of local autonomy and decentralization, the prefect resumed its role and place in the system of the local public administration authorities.It is remarkable that the prefect institution's evolution is closely related to the development of the society, its way of organizing and passing the 27 years of the Romanian public administration to the principles of the modern European administration.In our research we tried to analyze, starting from the concrete example of prefect's attributions, which would be the best solution for the representation of the Government in the territory of a prefect - senior civil servant, prefect of career versus prefect politically called.
