Key Draft Laws Remain Unapproved Despite Repeated Inclusion in Legislative Programs
Two significant draft laws, concerning the diaspora and external services, continue to be stalled within Parliament despite being identified as priorities for over six years. The government’s 2026-2028 legislative program, adopted in February, once again includes the draft laws, but civil society groups express serious concerns regarding their continued delay. The draft law for diaspora and the draft law for external services have been listed as priorities since 2021, during the tenure of Foreign Minister Donika Gërvalla.
Despite inclusion in the government’s legislative programs of that year, the draft laws have not progressed to approval. Now, with Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca at the helm, the draft laws remain unresolved. Year after year, they appear as listed priorities, yet have not been formally approved.
The persistent lack of action has raised questions about the government’s commitment to enacting these crucial legislation. Analysts suggest the ongoing delay represents a significant oversight, potentially impacting the Ministry’s ability to effectively engage with the diaspora and manage external services. The future of these draft laws remains uncertain as they continue to occupy a position on the legislative agenda.
