Vice Premier Marko Bela’s tasks are amended by emergency ordinance

The Government amended by means of an emergency ordinance Vice Premier Marko Bela’s tasks, thus establishing that he will coordinate the activities in the fields of education, culture and national minorities’ protection.

“The Vice Prime Minister has his own working apparatus which is part of the Government’s working apparatus and coordinates the activities in the fields of education, culture and national minorities’ protection”, says the document published in the Official Gazette on Wednesday.

The Government, at its first meeting after having been invested, decided Marko Bela will coordinate the European Affairs Department, the Energy Regulatory Authority and the National Regulatory Authority for Public Utility Community Services, thus taking over tasks similar to the ones exercised by the former Vice Premier Dan Nica.
The emergency ordinance also establishes that the National Energy Regulatory Authority will no longer be directly coordinated by the Vice Premier, but it will be responsible to the Premier.
