At the meeting of the Collegium for Personnel, the chair of the Collegium briefly presented the challenges faced by staff in municipalities, given that the law has brought many changes in procedures, as well as the management system of the human resources unit constantly requires changes as the system is working at the same time and personnel procedures are being developed in the municipalities.
With the good cooperation we have with the central level we are going through some challenging processes from time to time, for this reason with the support of the Association of Kosovo Municipalities, we have organized a meeting where Mr. Bekim Demiri from the responsible ministry is present, who is directly connected to the system and is helping us immensely to fully connect and implement the system as a whole.
The representative of AKM, announced about the Legislative Program 2022, that this year the Government has foreseen 130 Draft Laws, of which 31 have been selected by AKM to be in working groups, as they are related to the competencies of the local level.
The draft laws that are related to the field of personnel, are the Draft Law on Public Officials which is in the process of change since last year, where we are a member together with the chairperson and we are working on the realization of your requests. The other draft law is on Salaries, which has recently returned to zero, and AKM will be a member of the working group and we will give our proposals according to the requests of municipalities for salary evaluation for civil, public, political and support servants of municipalities.
Mr. Bekim Demiri emphasized that the new system of human resources should be used constantly and asked you to be careful to use the system every day, to have in mind the protection of applicants’ data, also the system itself will perform some procedures, notifications for each candidate also with points and the system itself regulates the procedure, but you have to constantly supply it with data, as the system is still undergoing changes and is still working on its advancement.
The system is already a working tool, keep in mind that it applies to the development of procedures for civil servants, not for public servants.
Regarding the evaluation of personal CVs, a Guide for the evaluation of criteria with points will be developed, which will help the Commission to score the most accurate CVs of applicants.
Recommendations of the Collegium meeting:
– Each Municipality should have only one staff office with one personnel manager of some officials, hence also education and health care should be incorporated within the Office of Municipal Administration staff;
-Staff training should be provided on the use of HRMIS;
– Meetings should be held with the presidency of the Collegium, especially for discussing proposals for working groups in drafting draft laws.
