Bill aims to provide permanent employment for thousands working in state institutions

A draft bill submitted by VMRO-DPMNE and VLEN would allow some people who have worked for years in state institutions under employment contracts, copyright contracts or through temporary employment agencies to move to regular, open-ended employment. Bekim Qoku, an MP and coordinator of VLEN’s parliamentary group, announced that he had signed and submitted the draft bill. He said the initiative aims to resolve an issue that, in his view, has affected thousands of citizens for many years. “Administrative employees deserve dignity and security. The time when they were exploited as voting machines and blackmailed with their jobs and livelihoods is over! This proposal is therefore also a step toward dignity and security for everyone who has been waiting for a solution to this problem for years,” Qoku said.
