Brussels has given strong messages about the crime and corruption situation in Albania.
The first strong message came during the reporting of the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, Klodian Braho, who, together with a SPAK delegation, reported for about four hours to the European Commission on progress in chapters 23 and 24, related to justice and fundamental rights.
Sources from Brussels indicate that this was an important test for Braho after taking office as head of SPAK. He appeared before representatives of the Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighborhood, the structure responsible for monitoring candidate countries for the European Union.
Braho was accompanied by a group of investigators and legal advisors from the National Bureau of Investigation, including Sadleva Bodo and Chief of Staff Fabian Zhilla, while the Albanian delegation answered a series of questions on the fight against corruption and organized crime. It is learned that Brussels has requested the strongest possible crackdown on crime and corruption.
But in parallel with the reporting in Brussels, a strong message also came from the European Union Delegation in Tirana.
EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato warned that organized crime is undermining Albania's economic integrity, public administration and citizens' trust in institutions.
According to him, in addition to criminal prosecution, Albanian authorities should focus more on preventive measures to stop the infiltration of crime into the legal economy.
"Organized crime undermines Albania's economic integrity, public administration and citizens' trust in institutions. This requires that, in addition to criminal prosecution, we focus more on preventive measures," Gonzato said.
The Ambassador emphasized that the use of instruments such as license revocation, control of participation in public tenders, and administrative sanctions are important means to block the penetration of organized crime into legitimate businesses and the formal economy.
"Blocking crime's access to the legal economy strengthens traditional efforts to combat organized crime. This approach is essential for Albania's successful integration into the European Union," he stressed.
Brussels' message comes at a time when international reports and public debates in the country have raised concerns about the growing influence of organized crime on the economy and its possible links to politics.
In this context, SPAK's reporting to the European Commission and the warnings of European diplomats show that the fight against corruption and crime remains one of the main tests for Albania's path towards the European Union. / Pamphlet
