The Chargé d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Tirana, Nancy VanHorn, delivered a strong political and security message during the closing ceremony of the FBI-led training for SPAK and BKH investigators, held at the Security Academy.
Quoting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, VanHorn stressed that international criminal and terrorist organizations, particularly those involved in narcotics trafficking, pose the greatest threat to the security of the United States in the Western Hemisphere.
According to the American diplomat, these groups are not simply criminal networks, but structures that are destabilizing nation-states and encouraging mass immigration, creating direct consequences for American security.
"And as Secretary Rubio said, international criminal and terrorist organizations, particularly those engaged in narcotics trafficking, are the greatest threat to United States security in the Western Hemisphere, where these groups are destabilizing nation-states and driving mass migration. We will vigorously pursue President Trump's priorities in Albania, strengthening institutions that combat organized crime and narcotics trafficking such as SPAK, BKH, and the Security Academy," said Charge d'Affaires Nancy VanHorn at the closing ceremony of the FBI-led training for SPAK and BKH investigators at the Security Academy, making clear that American support for Albanian justice institutions is not symbolic, but strategic.
She singled out SPAK, the National Bureau of Investigation, and the Security Academy as key pillars in the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking, signaling the continuation of close cooperation with the FBI and other American law enforcement agencies.
VanHorn's message comes at a delicate moment for Albanian justice, where SPAK and BKH are under constant political and media pressure, while the signals from Washington are clear: the fight against organized crime in Albania remains a direct US priority.
