The administration of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Region has taken steps to address staffing shortages by appointing permanent employees to its services. According to an official press release, this initiative aims to "improve the quality of public services and enhance administrative practices that have a direct impact on citizens' daily lives." The statement further emphasizes that the administration has tackled one of the region's major challenges—staff shortages—and remains committed to sustaining this effort, with tangible results already visible.

In the coming weeks, the hiring of 22 permanent employees will be completed, with eight of them officially sworn in this morning at the regional headquarters in Komotini.
