Abstract: Albania, as a signatory of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, is legally obligated to meet European standards, even for public administration. This modest work attempts to provide a regulatory overview of the status of public administration employees, the impact of political forces on sustainability, and the continuity of employment relationships of civilian servants.

The primary goal of the entire regulatory system governing the status of civil servants is to establish uniform regulation for all positions related to the exercise of public authority and responsibility for safeguarding the overall interests of the state. Simultaneously, it aims to strengthen legal protection, impartiality of civil servants, political independence, job stability, professionalism, efficiency, and the optimal protection of individual rights and legitimate expectations of citizens from public administration.

This work seeks to highlight these elements as reflected in Law No. 152/2013, as amended, also bringing to light the shortcomings or issues related to the implementation of this law.

In the paper, an evolution of public administration has been reflected up to the present day, highlighting the issues related to recruitment, and movements within and outside public institutions. Efforts to establish sustainability in administrative positions through career progression, and staff motivation based on job performance, which should be objective and serve the purpose for which such a system has been established, are discussed. We have also endeavored to address these elements related to the status of civil servants in this work.
