The government has made another move at the leadership level, appointing two new deputy ministers in Health and in the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. The decision was taken by the Council of Ministers on the prime minister’s proposal and takes effect immediately.
New appointment in Health
According to the government’s official decision, Anila Rexha has been appointed Deputy Minister of Health and Social Welfare.
The act is based on Article 100 of the Constitution and Law No. 9000 on the organization and functioning of the Council of Ministers. The text of the decision states that the appointment takes effect immediately and is published in the Official Gazette.
Kevin Bufi moves to Foreign Affairs
At the same meeting, the government also appointed Kevin Bufi as Deputy Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
This decision as well was presented on the same legal basis and, according to the official version, takes effect immediately after approval and is published in the Official Gazette.
Swift decisions, without public explanations
The official announcement gives no political or administrative reasons for these moves, nor any additional information on the objectives the two new deputy ministers are expected to cover.
The practice of appointments by immediate decision remains a common government mechanism, but often without full transparency for the public on the reasoning, criteria and specific responsibilities of the selected names.
So far, what has been made public is limited to the formal decisions of the Council of Ministers for Anila Rexha and Kevin Bufi.
The official announcement contains no further details on their institutional profile or on any other possible changes in the cabinet.
