This paper is specific because it is focused in the study of concrete cases of the relationship between civil servants and the political leaders with the aim of finding solutions that will fight corruptive and militant behaviours in the public administration. For this reason, this research will bring innovation to the field of scientific research.   Militancy in Albania is the main factor that prevents the formation of a stable and professional public administration with capable people of integrity who are devoted to serving the public.
