The Prime Minister presents the changes in the government to the President/ The

Prime Minister Edi Rama has submitted to the President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, proposals for changes in the government Cabinet. The constitutional procedure provides for a 7-day deadline for the decreeing of ministers. Of the 17 portfolios in the cabinet structure, 6 have changed leaders, or 35.3% of the government. Of these 6 moves, 4 are complete replacements, while 2 are internal repositionings.

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.
