The confidential UK report warns of Ankara's strengthening of Albanian security structures, Erdogan ready to punish Edi Rama...
For more than five years, the United Kingdom has placed the Western Balkans under intense surveillance through a special task force led by a senior British military and intelligence official. This task force has demonstrated effectiveness in the region, most notably during the Banjska crisis in Kosovo, where the British Intelligence Service and SAS special forces played a key role in neutralizing Serbia.
In Albania, the British intensified their role as soon as the new Trump administration cut off funding for the new Albanian judiciary. London intervened immediately, taking over the direct protection of SPAK.
According to a confidential British report, Erdogan's Turkey is increasingly extending its influence in the Balkans through an aggressive neo-Ottoman policy. This has also been observed in Albania, where Ankara has built a powerful network of influence that includes Turkish-educated police and military officers over the past 30 years.
The British material emphasizes that Erdogan has established direct relationships with many senior officials in the State Police and the Albanian Intelligence Service (SHISH), considering this as a potential threat to the sovereignty and independence of Albanian institutions.
The report does not use aggressive tones towards Ankara, as the UK remains a strategic ally of Turkey in many international issues, such as the war in Ukraine. However, it describes Turkish influence in Albania as worrying, warning of the consequences this "parallel network" could have on the country's political stability.
Meanwhile, sources independent of the British report confirm that Turkish circles have called on "brothers" within the Albanian police structures not to be actively involved in supporting the victory of Prime Minister Edi Rama in the upcoming elections. This signals a significant change in Erdogan's stance, which aims to demonstrate his power and influence in Albania, by sending a clear message to the Albanian leader./ Pamphlet
