The new body will serve as the primary strategic planning authority at the national level during a state of emergency. The reform provides for a strict division of powers: the commission being established will focus exclusively on developing long-term solutions, while operational response on the ground will remain the responsibility of the relevant agencies.
At the same time, the National Crisis Management Center will lose its authority to make strategic decisions and will be reclassified as a secretariat, which will focus on collecting, integrating, and analyzing information, as well as providing operational support.
As Logos Press has previously reported, the Prime Minister will head the body, and its permanent members will include the heads of key ministries—Interior, Finance, Justice, Energy, Infrastructure, Economy, Health, and Defense. Also included are the directors of the Information and Security Service and the National Crisis Management Center, as well as the secretary of the National Security Council.
To ensure rapid coordination at the regional level, the draft establishes territorial and local crisis management bodies, which will have autonomy under the principle of subsidiarity but will coordinate their actions with the central government through special operational support centers.
The draft does not require parliamentary approval—a decision by the executive branch is sufficient for it to take effect.
