The appeal of the GjKKO overturns Belinda Balluku/ Leaves the suspension from office in effect
This Monday, March 9, the Special Court of Appeal is holding a hearing on the security measure "suspension from the exercise of office" for former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, following the reasoning of the decision by the Constitutional Court.
The appeal of the Special Court of Appeal has overturned Belinda Balluku, leaving the measure of suspension from office in force.
The decision was made by judge Miliana Muça who reviewed the appeal made by Balluku's lawyers against the security measure.
Balluku is no longer Minister of Infrastructure and Energy and Deputy Prime Minister and the Special Appeal must make a decision, even if it is to conclude that there is no subject matter for this matter.
The Constitutional Court ruled on February 6, on the request submitted by the government regarding the decision of the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime (GJKKO), which in November 2025 decided to suspend Belinda Balluku from her duties as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy.
The Constitutional Court decided to dismiss the government's lawsuit, after the judges voted 4 in favor and 4 against, failing to reach the necessary quorum. Thus, the suspension measure for Belinda Balluku, which had been lifted on December 12, 2025, was reinstated by this court's verdict.
Conditions not met/ SP rejects SPAK's request for the arrest of Belinda Balluku
The Socialist Party rejects SPAK's request for the arrest of Belinda Balluku, former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Infrastructure. According to the report drafted by the 5 socialist members of the Council of Mandates and Immunities, in the case of Belinda Balluku, the conditions for her arrest, based on the request of SPAK, are not met.
In the report that Ulsi Manja read before the socialist parliamentary group and which also constitutes the position of the SP in the Council of Mandates and Immunities, it is stated that despite SPAK's claims for the increase of charges, the criminal offense remains the same, the violation of equality in tenders.
The report said that there is no accusation of bias against Belinda Balluku, nor is there any direct or indirect evidence that she tampered with evidence.
