Prime Minister Edi Rama has appointed former mayor of Vlora, Ermal Dredha, as ambassador to Switzerland. His candidacy is expected to be made official after all procedures are completed.
Dredha is the next socialist that Rama has secured another job for, following his resignation as mayor, which came after a wave of criticism from the prime minister about the progress of affairs in the city.
Before Dredha's resignation, all directors of the Municipality of Vlora resigned, also at Rama's request.
With this appointment, Dredha returns to diplomatic duties, while the prime minister appears to continue using state institutions as a "shelter" for socialists.
