It also provides an overview of the relationship between civil service and other political institutions and asks whether the constitutional choices have-to a certain degree-influenced the existing design of the civil service. Moreover, the article exposes the current trend of politicization and describes the models through which the latter is developing. Finally, the article asks whether the current system of recruitment, promotion, and appointment of senior managing staff preconditions a political civil-service system.- Reproduced.  aCivil service - Kosovo  aCivil service  aRogova, Artan  aDoli, Dren  aInternational Journal of Public Administration
