Albania’s Constitutional Court has today published the final ruling regarding the demand of 39 Parliament deputies for abolishing the provisions of the president’s two decrees related to virtual artificial intelligence minister Diella. The court has decided to drop demand.
According to the ATSH, the decision was made on October 8, 2026, and was announced on November 9, 2026.
In its reasoning, the Constitutional Court estimates that the rejected provisions have an individual legal effect on the prime minister, but do not provide autonomous competencies or new structures and have no normative character. For this reason, they cannot undergo abstract control of constitutionality.
The virtual minister is an unspiritually organized artificial intelligence program that does not in itself represent a real physical person with law skills and the ability to act independently, and therefore there are no further rights that make him an independent subject in civil and administrative circulation. As such, in his case the constitutional and legal criteria and regulations relating to eligibility, the incompatibility of the post, or the verification of his election, are said to be in the Constitutional Court’s decision.
The court has also estimated that Sunday is an artificial intelligence platform used as an instrument for processing data in public procurement procedures and tenders, rather than a constitutional official or minister in the judicial sense.
Also, he does not enjoy the characteristics or traits of the minister as a legal person linked to having a organisational structure, rich independence and independent judicial and institutional responsibility for the actions he commits, and acts that come under the direction and authority of the virtual Minister Diella, who does not enjoy the individual quality as a physical person, is further said in decision.
According to the ATSH, the motion has been knocked down by majority of votes, while judges Marsida Xhaferlarri and Asim Vokshi have come into the minority, arguing the provisions should be abolished as incompatible with the Constitution.
