Municipal employee and municipal service

What is a municipal service?

In literal translation from the Latin language, the term "municipal" means "Italian in the Roman state". This means that the free population of the Roman state received in limited or full extent the right to self-government and the right of Roman citizenship.

Today, the term "municipal service" should be understood as the professional activity of people occupying public positions and ensuring the implementation of local government.
