Minev Defends “Pretext Law” as Sole Legal Framework for Sabor Committee Positions
Minister of Public Administration Goran Minev has asserted that a recently passed “pretext law” represents the only legal framework for appointments and responsibilities within the Sabor committee and the broader state administration. The legislation, which passed its first reading and moved to national consideration, was introduced six months prior to the work of the reform agency. Minev explained that the need for this law arose from an agreement among participants in what he termed the “monetary week.” He stated that the pretext law specifically addresses the appointment, mandate, responsibilities, and resolution processes for the highest-ranking officials, including those associated with the European flag.
The Minister clarified that the reform agency is responsible for the development of this legal framework. He emphasized that it provides a definitive structure for the state administration and its associated funds. The timing of the law’s passage precedes the reform agency’s own initiatives, highlighting its intended role as the foundational legal basis for significant administrative changes.
