Measure 3.2.1
“Improvement of the structural management and administration of the prosecution through efficient planning and management of human resources (additional 152)”.
This measure requires the GPO to, first of all, improve the structural management of the prosecution body, by defining a general structure of the prosecution as functional as possible and, secondly, to assist in the prosecution administration process, by adopting the standard regulation of the organization and functioning of prosecution offices of general jurisdiction, but also by setting detailed rules for case distribution procedures, which provide transparency and sufficient opportunities for verification, or criteria for case distribution based on the workload and specialization of prosecutors, etc.
The measure itself also requires efficient planning and management of human resources and this is directly related to the structure of prosecution offices, determining the total number of prosecutors in the Republic of Albania, the responsibility of the GPO, the number of prosecutors in judicial and appellate prosecution offices, in cooperation with the HPC, but also with issues related to the budget and the proper operation of the administration of the prosecution offices of general jurisdiction (GPO proposes and administers the budget of the prosecution offices of general jurisdiction).
The measure also includes a provision for 152 additional seats. This provision shows that the need to increase the capacity of human resources in the prosecution office is high and urgent. However, it is worth mentioning that concrete figures or forecasts should be avoided in the wording of the measure.
Conclusion: This measure is relevant to the outcome and feasible, even prior to the final approval of the judicial map. Restructuring, internal transfers, redistribution of resources, planning process, etc., are activities that the GPO and prosecutors themselves will have to carry out on a frequency of at least 5 years, in order to increase their performance.
