This article analyses the territorial state administration of the V4 Countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia), with trying to highlight some important features about the task-performing system of the chosen countries in a comparative perspective.1 Besides analysing similarities and singularities of the current task-performing systems, the article also gives a short summary about the current ruling trends and tendencies of public administration development in V4 countries. This additional topic is necessary and can not be avoided because of the countinous changing of territorial state administration generated by the policy makers. In order to
give a comprehensive image of the task- performing systems, we applied institution-based approach as a method.

Keywords: comparative public administration V4 countries, territorial state administration, organizational system, trends in public administration
