Race for the head of the Republican Guard, 8 candidates are being interviewed!
Director General of the Republican Guard

The interview of eight candidates who have applied for the position of General Director of the Republic Guard following the resignation of Ermal Onuzi will take place this Thursday at the Ministry of Interior.

We recall that Ermal Onuzi resigned from the leadership of the Guard on June 3 of last year after only 9 months in office.

The interview of 8 candidates will be conducted in alphabetical order:  Arian Sopiqoti, Denis Deliu, Faik Basha, Ilirjan Hasanaj, Liman Hoxha, Simon Zereci, Vasil Çuni and Zaje Osma .

Denis Deliu is a former SP MP, who entered parliament after Lefter Maliqi left his mandate.

While Faik Basha was a member of the leadership of the Freedom Party, he announced his "divorce" with the party in April last year before the May 11 campaign.

The interview is being conducted before an evaluation committee, composed of the Deputy Minister of Interior, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Interior, and the Director of the Police Supervision Agency.

During the hearing, the candidates will present their platforms and vision for leading the Republican Guard.

The members of the Commission will ask questions to the candidates, in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in the instructions of the Minister of Interior.

At the end of the process, the Commission will evaluate and rank the most highly rated candidates, based on the documentation submitted, the information administered, and the performance during the interview.

The ranking, along with written evaluations for each candidate, will be forwarded to the Minister of Interior, who will send the proposal to the Prime Minister for final appointment.
