Mr. Landsberg proposes to delete the provision governing the right of the Minister to appoint temporary administrators, consuls and ministerial advisers if they have not previously concluded a diplomatic service contract.
The Minister also proposes to drop the provision on the conclusion of a diplomatic service contract with Vice Ministers.
Mr. Landsbergis claims that the procedure so far has allowed the Foreign Minister to make political appointments to the diplomatic service without competition and other legal requirements for statutory diplomats.
According to him, such cases violated the legitimate career expectations of statutory diplomats, created discriminatory regulation, and reduced the transparency and prestige of the diplomatic service.
G. Landsbergis does not modify the procedure for appointing ambassadors. In an interview last week, the SNB minister said that there is no possibility to review the law on the procedure for the appointment of ambassadors, as provided for in the Constitution.
The Constitution establishes that diplomatic representatives in foreign states and international organizations are appointed and removed by the President at the proposal of the Government.
Landsbergis also told the BNS that he would consider opening a diplomatic certification commission by inviting a representative from the high school.
