The Constitutional Court decided on February 6, 2026 to dismiss Prime Minister Edi Rama's lawsuit against the GJKKO, confirming the measure of suspension from office against the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku.
With this decision, the Constitutional Court upheld the Special Court's decision and upheld the suspension from executive functions. As a result, Balluku cannot exercise her duties as Deputy Prime Minister or Minister and cannot appear in the relevant offices.
Currently, she can only perform the function of a deputy, as long as there is no decision by the Mandates Council that affects her parliamentary mandate. The decision does not affect her status in the Assembly.
At the same time, SPAK retains the right to review the security measure and decide whether to tighten it, depending on the progress of the investigation.
As for a new lawsuit in the Constitutional Court, the government no longer has the right to act in this regard. The only party that can file a new request is Belinda Balluku herself, in her capacity as an individual. She can request a constitutional review of the measure of suspension from office and prohibition on leaving the country, after the completion of the judicial filter in the Supreme Court.
The Constitutional Court, as the last instance in the judicial hierarchy, assesses whether the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure have been respected, whether the measures are proportional, and whether there has been a violation of fundamental rights or immunity.
Today's decision closes the Prime Minister's institutional initiative towards the GJKKO and places any further legal steps solely in the hands of Belinda Balluku, within the limits provided for by the Constitution.
