Overview

• Prime Minister Edi Rama's four-year program, which includes Diella's role, was approved with 82 votes after opposition protests curtailed debate to roughly 25 minutes.
• Diella is slated to evaluate and award public tenders automatically in a phased shift of procurement decisions out of ministries to reduce corruption.
• The government has not disclosed specifics on human oversight, audit mechanisms, training data access or cybersecurity protections for the system.
• Because Albanian law requires ministers to be citizens, the AI holds an administrative position without legislative or voting authority.
• Diella evolved from the e‑Albania platform, reportedly developed with Microsoft cooperation and used for about one million queries, and officials link the initiative to EU accession goals.
