Maribor Municipality announces new hires for mayor's cabinet

The Municipality of Maribor has announced job openings for three permanent positions within the mayor's cabinet: a professional associate, an undersecretary, and a functional secretary. The recruitment comes shortly before the end of the current mandate, raising questions regarding the timing of these hires.

Municipal officials stated that the recruitment is a response to actual personnel needs and a reduction in the number of employees within the mayor's cabinet, rather than a move related to upcoming local elections. They emphasized that the administration must ensure continuity of work. The municipality noted that these positions were already part of the existing organizational structure and are intended to replace staff departures and prepare for upcoming retirements.
