official/officer/civil or public servant/clerk
Explanation:
Official = officer - one who holds or is invested with an office (Merriam Webster dictionary)

ex. government official, customs officer

bank clerk = bankarski službenik

civil servant = državni službenik

In UK usage, one is not a civil servant if one works at the city hall. The term 'civil servant' is restricted to those who work for a ministry, and does not include those who work for a local authority. People who work at a city hall are PUBLIC SERVANTS but not civil servants. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_s..._Civil_Service)

agree  Lingua 5B: "officer" pokriva sve činovničke službe i veoma je širok termin. Pogotovo u pol.kontekstu, to je officer, bio civil ili pol. officer. Svi poslovi pri vladi, može ići "officer"
