Plain window-dressing, bigger partization of the state administration, and lack of desire to resolve this problem and implement the European Commission's recommendations. This is how the opposition assessed the last version of the bill on civil servants on Monday. Even though the assembly Committee on Political System and Interethnic Relations backed the need for ratification of this bill, SDSM announced that it would submit amendments and that it would insist on these amendments being accepted.

Justice Minister Mihajlo Manevski explained that the proposed changes strengthen the position of the Agency for Civil Servants, ensure de-partization, and create conditions for an efficient administration. We will review all proposals and remarks so that we formulate a good law, he said.
