Summary/Abstract: In the introductory remarks, the paper highlights the shared past of the central European countries and the most important historical moments for the development of the public administration. Further, the paper points out various theoretical approaches to the definition of the term public service, public administration and its classification concerning the academic background in the Czech Republic. Subsequently, the primary public service legislation in the Czech Republic is referred out. On this basis, public service and administration challenges and issues are formulated. The authors approach the concept of public service in a broader sense, focusing on public service in general, service of the state officials, officials of territorial self-governing municipality units, as well as public services provided by the private sector. The paper examines the new role of the public administration in the global health and public services crisis. The authors evaluate the possibilities of the new governance methods for re-directing the public service and administration to the new role of the crisis and post-crisis managers.
