Summary/Abstract: A modern administration is an administration that is open and transparent. Administration that has quality and timely communication with users of administrative services. It is an administration in which educated and competent civil servants work and are subject to a permanent grading and education system. The paper examines the classic model of public administration, the so-called Weberian public administration, the new public management, and the advantages and disadvantages of these systems. Four basic elements are crucial for the functioning of modern administration, namely: quality staff, retaining it in the service, further training, and especially the professionalization and depoliticisation of leadership positions. The rule of law cannot function without a good administration. Which system best suits a country depends on its specifics. It will rarely be a single system, but rather a combination of several systems. Advantages and disadvantages of individual systems will be briefly presented in the paper.
