The signs are that the delays are coming to an end, and if the Senate gives the green light, his appointment is bad news for politics...
The corrupt of Tirana have started to worry again. For more than 6 months, everyone is grazing freely, because the US embassy does not have an official ambassador.
The American envoy has been very distant, not getting involved in political life. Since Yuri Kim left, there has been no further warning about politics and this has caused Berisha to cause chaos in the Assembly, while Edi Rama claims that he did the reform and not the USA.
We all know that when the headquarters of "Elbasan Street" works properly, they put their heads down and say nothing. But with Yuri Kim gone, it seems as if the "rats" have come out to celebrate, a celebration which probably won't last very long.
Since January of the year we are leaving behind, it became known that President Biden has proposed David J. Kostelancik for ambassador. He went to the Senate and received praise, but the vote has been blocked since April because the Senate is run by Republicans and there are disagreements with Democrats. But the signals are that the situation is normalizing and the new ambassador will most likely be in Tirana at the beginning of next year.
In August " Pamphlet " reported that the Senate has blocked 301 names that were supposed to be appointed to various positions, including in justice, departments, embassies, etc. But according to the latest data of this Senate, Kostelancik's name is getting closer to being put on the agenda to be approved. The Senate has exhausted more than half of the names and now there are only 125 pending, of which 17 are ambassadors. According to the Senate's list of pending names, Ambassador Kostelancik is the 24th.

The signs are that the delays are coming to an end, and if the Senate gives the green light, his appointment is bad news for politics. David J. Kostelancik is a good connoisseur of the Balkans, and the fight against corruption and Russian influence will be a major focus, two quite widespread phenomena in our country.
" If I am confirmed in this position, I will cooperate with Albania to strengthen democratic institutions and institutions of justice. President Joe Biden has defined the fight against corruption and organized crime as part of our national strategy. This is a major challenge for the countries of the Western Balkans ," Mr. Kostelancik said when he reported to the Senate. The progress of the justice reform will help Albania's progress towards European integration, he emphasized. / Pamphlet
