Summary/Abstract: After the change of the political system in 1989/1990, the magnetic needle of Hungarian state organization and legal system - not for the first time in the last thousand years, but hopefully for this time definitely - turned towards west, and the European Union became the determinanc ceter of magnetic attraction. The Association Agreement with the European Communities and their member countries in 1991, the submission of our application for the entry into the European Union in 1994, the beginning of the Entry negotiations in 1998 and the conclusion of the Contract of Entry in 2003 made it clear that Hungarian state organization and administration as part of the previous should fit harmoniously into the structure and methodology of the administration of the European Union. The aim of the present study is to give an outline, within narrow bounds available, of the two pillars of Hungarian administration-constitution and personnel-their challenges, the answers given and also to attempt to point out the main directions of the development of Hungarian administration. In short, the study will make an attempt to answer the question posed in the title.
