The members of the Constitutional Court voted 4 to 4, rejecting the Council of Ministers' appeal for the suspension of the security measure against Balluk...
The Constitutional Court of Albania has upheld the decision of the Constitutional Court of Albania to suspend Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku.
After a marathon meeting that lasted over 10 hours, with the judges "confined" in the Consultation Chamber, the members of the Constitutional Court voted 4 to 4, rejecting the Council of Ministers' appeal for the suspension of the security measure against Balluk.
The decision comes after several lengthy hearings in January and February 2026, where the government argued that the suspension creates an institutional vacuum, violates the balance of powers and undermines the normal functioning of the executive for a politically elected deputy prime minister. On the other hand, SPAK insisted that her reinstatement risks “poisoning” and destroying evidence in the investigation into violations of equality in tenders.
How did the collision start?
The case began in October 2025, when SPAK registered Balluk as a defendant for violating the equality of participants in public tenders. After her appearance at SPAK, she was officially placed under investigation.
-On November 11, 2025, SPAK requested that the GJKKO suspend her from duty, on the grounds that she could affect the evidence of the investigation. The GJKKO accepted the request and suspended Balluk.
-On November 21, 2025, the Government appealed to the Constitutional Court to overturn the suspension, arguing that it creates an institutional vacuum in the executive, violates the balance of powers, and violates the normal functions of the government for a politically elected Deputy Prime Minister.
-On December 12, 2025, the Constitutional Court temporarily suspended the effects of the GJKKO decision and reinstated Balluk until the final decision was made.
-On December 16, 2025, SPAK officially sent the request to the Assembly for authorization to arrest Balluk (as an MP), which means the removal of parliamentary immunity.
-On January 22, 2026, the Government and SPAK face each other in the Constitutional Court, the parties present their arguments. SPAK defended the suspension measure against Belinda Balluku in the Constitutional Court, calling it proportional and necessary to avoid compromising evidence. On the other hand, the Government called the suspension unconstitutional and paralyzing for the executive.
-On January 27, 2026, the Constitutional Court meets to make a decision on the Balluk case, but in the end it asks for more time, postponing the decision to another date.
-On February 3, 2026, the Constitutional Court convenes again on the Balluk case but is unable to reach a decision, which caused the decision to be postponed again.
