The application deadline for the competition for the heads of the six main departments in the General Directorate of the State Police has closed. The deadline for submitting applications ended on Friday, July 17, while a total of 9 candidates have registered for the process.
Sources from the process indicate that the candidates will compete for the leadership of the most important police structures, while six of them are expected to be appointed to head the departments.
The following are in the running: Pëllumb Seferi; Artan Barjaktari; Lorenc Panganika; Saimir Muça; Hergis Jica; Idajet Faskaj; Ferdinand Mara; Alban Dauti; Lufti Minxhozi
The departments for which the competition is being held are:
Department of Criminal Police Department
of International Relations
Department of Support Services
Department of Public Order and Security Department
of Information Technology
Department of Border and Migration
The competition process was opened by order of the Director General of the State Police, Skënder Hita, with the aim of selecting for the first time the leaders of these structures through a competitive procedure. A few months ago, the competition for the leadership of the departments was canceled after the lawsuit of the former head of the National Bureau of Investigation (BKH), Aida Hajnaj, in the Administrative Court, after she was not returned to the same position she had previously held in the State Police. Her subsequent appointment to a department leadership position brought about the resolution of the situation and the continuation of the process.
According to the criteria set out in the law on the State Police, candidates must have a middle management position, not have been subject to serious disciplinary measures in the last three years, not have a conflict of interest and meet the legal and health criteria for exercising the function. In the coming days, the other stages of the evaluation by a special commission in the State Police are expected to take place. At the end of the process, the new heads of the six departments will be announced.
Their appointment will be made upon the proposal of the Director General of the State Police and with the signature of the Minister of Interior, Besfort Lamallari. This is expected to be the first and last time that heads of departments in the State Police are selected through a competition, as the Assembly is expected to approve amendments to the law on the police, which foresee the abolition of competitive procedures for the lowest management levels, with the exception of the position of Director General.
