The Parliament approved in the second reading a bill providing for a comprehensive assessment of all 478 state institutions and a functional analysis until July 1, 2026. At the same time, a ban on the creation of new institutions until January 1, 2027 is established.
Each institution will undergo a functional assessment, which will result in a decision on its preservation, reorganization or liquidation. Special attention is paid to structures with overlapping powers or beyond the provision of public services.
Significant changes affect the management system: competitive selection of managers, annual performance evaluation and a system of key performance indicators are introduced. Terms of office are limited and the results of the evaluation may influence the continuation in office.
The reform is implemented within the framework of the Public Administration Reform Strategy for 2023-2030 and the National Development Plan for 2026-2028 and is part of the country’s commitments in the European integration process. According to the assessments of European institutions, the administrative system is characterized by a complex structure and insufficient institutional coordination.
The implementation of the reform is expected to reduce institutional fragmentation, increase transparency in the distribution of powers and improve the efficiency of public resources utilization.
Today, the public sector system has over 70,000 employees, with over 5,000 vacant positions and an employment rate of approximately 92.6%.
