TIRANA, September 3 /ATA/ During his speech today before the SP Parliamentary group and the government cabinet, Prime Minister Edi Rama also focused on the latest public administration survey.
Rama noted that the survey highlighted the lack of accountability for poor performance, calling it a critical issue alongside low salaries.
The head of the government praised the Albanian public administration, citing as an example its performance during the negotiation process with the European Union.
“Albania’s EU journey was championed not by a few, but by 1,000 dedicated state employees in Brussels. They excelled in the most grueling phase of accession: the full institutional audit of the country’s entire state apparatus”, he said.
The prime minister said that, “The performance of that administration was one of the reasons why France, Denmark and the Netherlands have given Albania more points in their respect index,” he emphasized.
Rama emphasized that while parts of the public administration are built on merit, appointments are sometimes driven by non-professional criteria. /e.i/a.f/r.e/p.s./
