The Government establishes a mandate for Secretaries and heads of institutions,

The heads of institutions and the Secretaries General will have a 5-year mandate with the right to renewal.

This is stated in the draft law on Civil Servants, which will be submitted for public consultation.

This change aims to guarantee greater transparency, stability and professionalism in the management of public institutions , by limiting discretionary interventions and strengthening the principle of merit in the selection of senior leaders.

The draft law also provides for the improvement of the Civil Service model, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of recruitment and management of human resources in the administration, as well as creating conditions for attracting qualified professionals from outside the civil service.

According to the proposed changes, the limit for candidates who can be recruited from outside the administration is increased from 20% to 50% of vacant positions within a year, while the salary structure will be reformatted to encourage employee performance and motivation.

The Minister of State for Public Administration and Anti-Corruption, Adea Pirdeni, has published for public consultation the draft law on several changes and additions to Law No. 152/2013, "On the Civil Servant", as amended.

As part of the proposals for amendment to the current law, it is proposed to improve the Civil Service model in Albania, by increasing the efficiency of the admission process and managerial procedures for the civil service, with the aim of creating conditions for attracting as many qualified professionals as possible from outside the Civil Service. It is proposed to provide for more transparency, flexibility and increased security in the recruitment and treatment of high-level civil servants.

According to the proposed changes, the limit for candidates who can be recruited from abroad will be increased from 20% to 50% of vacant positions within the public administration within one year.

There will be a reformatted salary structure that encourages performance and increases employee motivation.

A professional and merit-based administration lies at the heart of Albania's efforts for EU membership, and its strengthening is intended to be achieved through these proposed legal changes.

The draft law has been drafted in close cooperation with experts from the "EU Good Governance" Program and OECD/SIGMA experts, in cooperation with ministries, independent institutions and will be subject to a broad public consultation process with all stakeholders from October 31, 2025.

The main interventions in the legislation address and resolve a number of aspects of strengthening the functioning of the civil service in practice as follows:

Unique recruitment standard for the entire public administration:

Merit-based recruitment extends to all public institutions, whether or not they are part of the civil service.

The process is administered by a National Attestation Commission with representation from the government, independent institutions, and local government.

The new improved model for entry-level admissions is developed in two phases:

Uniformed national testing, conducted by DAP for all interested candidates;

Specific competition for the position, conducted by the institution that has the vacancy, under the supervision of DAP.

Restructuring the recruitment model for senior management officials

Increased transparency, flexibility and security in the recruitment and treatment of high-level civil servants;

Advertising positions individually for each vacancy;

The Secretaries General and heads of institutions will have renewable 5-year mandates;

Discretionary interventions in selection are limited.

More open and flexible career system for more new and greater professional expertise
Greater circulation of professionals between the public and private sectors;

Increasing the limit for candidates who can be recruited from abroad, from 20% to 50% of vacant positions within the public administration within one year;

Increased opportunity to return to civil service after experiences outside of it.

Reformulated salary structure that encourages performance and increases motivation:

Automatic advancement in salary scales is abolished;

An annual bonus for high performance is provided for a limited percentage of employees;

New performance evaluation system with 5 levels from the 4 levels currently envisaged.
