I am Islam Jusufi from Skopje, North Macedonia, a professor of political science. Currently I am part of an academic study inquiring on the transparency regime as regards the job roles or job descriptions of the civilian personnel in defence ministries of NATO member countries and in non-NATO countries of the western Balkans. In the context of our research, I would like to make a brief inquiry on the following questions concerning your defence ministry: 1. Are the job descriptions of civilians in your defence ministry publicly accessible? 2. What is the extent of the openness of job descriptions to the wider public?, and 3. In case they are publicly accessible, are they published openly in the websites of your defence ministry? If yes, I will appreciate receiving the relevant links. I would be grateful to receive your brief responses on above questions and any other information that you may find appropriate, as soon as you can, but preferably by 12 October 2021, Tuesday. I remain at your disposal for additional information that you may have. I am thankful in advance, kind regards, -- Assoc. Prof. Dr. Islam JUSUFI Cell: +389-78-940738. 1 E-mail: [email protected].
