According to this decree, new powers have been granted to the head of the presidential administration. From now on, he has the authority to appoint and dismiss the deputies of presidential advisors, the heads of structural divisions of the administration, the head of the compliance service, the head of the chancellery, and the administrative staff, including those previously appointed by the President.

Until relevant amendments to the legislation are made, all rights, privileges, guarantees, and powers established for employees appointed by the President will apply to these officials, as well as the procedure for granting access to state secrets.
