Rama: Rejecting Albania's Description as Organised Crime

Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama, during the presentation of the results of the operation “Law Force in Action” today, has declared that he flatly refuses Albania to be recognised as a specific country of organised crime.

“Not only is Albania not the homeland of organised crime but in the size of the country and the problem is a country where there is a serious problem with organised crime, as there are in many other European Union countries”, Rama said, adding further that “in Albania organised crime is being fought daily and more decisively”.

Rama also said that the first half of 2018 brings a mirror of very positive results of the State Police and a sure basis for deepening the fight against crime of any nature.

It is important not to forget every time we discuss organised crime, the overall crime of invisibility and punitiveness that it is about a problem as complex as it is related to the complexity of actions among law institutions”, Rama said.

If, up to four years ago, the State Police were disreputed and with the lowest level of public confidence, along with prosecutors and courts, according to Rama, there is a radical change in the perception of public opinion, which also expresses the fundamental shortcomings in the process due to high design between what State Police and what courts do.
