The head of the government Edi Rama dismissed Arben Ahmetaj from the post of deputy prime minister and minister of state for reconstruction. Belinda Balluku has been appointed in his place. The week thus started with big changes in the government. Rama also removed Zef Maz from the post of Chief Negotiator with the EU, replacing him with Majlinda Dhuka.

According to Rama, now that the priority of Reconstruction gives way to the priority of Negotiations with the EU, the profile of the ministers will also change.

“Now that the priority of Reconstruction gives way to the priority of Negotiations with the EU, the profile of the Minister of State changes. Majlinda Dhuka, a high technical profile instead of the high diplomatic profile of Ambassador Mazi, becomes Chief Negotiator & Minister of State under the Prime Minister”, writes Rama.

The decrees were signed by the new president of the country, Bajram Begaj.
