Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has announced changes to the cabinet of the "Kurti 3" government in relation to the names he presented to the Assembly when he sought a vote months ago.
"There will be many of the names that Glauk Konjufca and I have already introduced in the fall of last year, but they will not be identical. There will be other names as well," he said in a statement to the media after the inauguration of investments in energy efficiency at the "Isa Boletini" high school of economics in Podujeva.
New names were included in Kurti's list of nominees, while those of Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi, Acting Minister of Trade and Industry, Rozeta Hajdari, Minister of Local Government, Elbert Krasniqi, and Minister of Education, Arbërie Nagavci, were left out.
For the position of Minister of Infrastructure, Kurti had proposed the Speaker of the Parliament, Dimal Basha.
