The President of the Republic decrees the new ministers - Voting in the Assembly and swearing in to the Presidency are expected
The President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, has decreed the new ministers of the government cabinet. Enea Karakaçi replaces Belinda Balluku in Infrastructure and Energy, Ferit Hoxha replaces Elisa Spiropali in Foreign Affairs, Ermal Nufi replaces Pirro Vengu in Defense, Erjona Ismaili replaces Toni Gogu in Parliamentary Relations. Meanwhile, we have two internal moves: Besfort Lamallari moves from Justice to the Ministry of Interior and Toni Gogu moves from Parliamentary Relations to Justice.
One of the most important changes is the separation of the function of Deputy Prime Minister from the portfolio of Infrastructure and Energy. Previously, this function was concentrated in a single figure (Belinda Balluku). We now have a new model where Albana Koçiu takes the function of Deputy Prime Minister while Enea Karakaçi takes the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy.
On Monday, Prime Minister Edi Rama presented proposals for government changes to President Bajram Begaj. The constitutional procedure provides for a 7-day deadline for the appointment of ministers.
The Assembly must now vote in plenary session on the new ministers, who will then address the Presidency to be sworn in.
