A public service has always been an activity of public interest managed by the publicadministration. There are many operating rules of public services. Some of these rules, the most significant ones, are generally seen as general principles, such as the principles of continuity, of equality and mutability of public service. Within Republic of Moldova, these principles were established by Law no. 1402/2002 regarding the municipal public services.
