Currently, Lithuania's public service includes about 52,600 employees.
"Once we finalize the concept of civil servant, their number will
decline considerably – I would say down to some 20,000. The goal is to provide
public servants with a competitive, good and motivational wages for their
dedicated performance," Misiunas told BNS.
Earlier this week, the Interior Ministry proposed centralizing selection
for public service, revising the salary system and envisaging motivational
instruments.
In the minister's words, the proposed amendments should stipulate that
public servants perform functions of public administration.
“All others who perform service functions, internal administration, i.e.,
for example, are personnel specialists and accountants, they will not be listed
as public servants and will work by contract,” Misiunas added.
The ministry wants the amendments to take effect in 2019.
