It is clear that each state has its own organization and structure, but some administrative models have common features and that is why it is important to examine whether these models can be implemented in a standard way, as well- defined patterns. Keywords: state, state apparatus, public administration, European administrative model. The organization and functioning principles of a society in general and of state in particular were major concerns for state philosophy and legal doctrine. Theories on the organization and functioning of the state were presented since antiquity. All values and principles promoted by thinkers throughout time are lost in nothingness if there are no special mechanisms of implementation. This role is played by the state apparatus which is based on a well-defined structure, namely public administration. The state is not an end in itself, but a tool for the organization and the management of society, in the service of social and political forces that hold the power. Therefore, the state is an organization of power, by means of which the organization and management of society is ensured, according to the will and interests of State. The role and functions of state change in the course of the history; in ancient, feudal societies, the state has expressed its role and action in accordance with the organization principles and to social values specific of those societies. In the modem contemporary democratic state, where power belongs to people, the state is used in the interest of the individual, of the satisfaction of common good, of citizen rights and liberties.1 Therefore, we may speak about people, individuals exercising the sovereignty of that State, because they are the purpose and also the means by which all of these goals may be implemented. Without the individual or by ignoring its interest, the state cannot exist in its natural form, i.e. the rule of law.
