Overview

• Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that procurement decisions will be shifted in phases from ministries to Diella, promising a “100 percent incorruptible” process.
• The government says Diella will also oversee state-funded projects and help deliver faster, fully transparent workflows, according to Rama’s statement.
• Opposition leaders, including Democratic Party floor chief Gazment Bardhi, labeled the move unconstitutional, and it remains unclear whether Parliament will vote on the virtual role.
• Officials have not detailed control mechanisms, the dataset underpinning decisions, or who bears legal responsibility for errors or manipulation.
• Diella already serves users on the e‑Albania portal, reportedly issuing about 36,600 digital documents and facilitating nearly 1,000 services, and appears publicly as an avatar in traditional dress.
