Ervin Karamuço

Criminalistics expert Ervin Karamuço has listed the four municipalities that pose the highest risk for election crimes.

Invited to "Top Talk", he said that Shkodra Lezha and Kamza, based on several factors assessed from previous years, are labeled as cities with a high risk of danger, for election crimes such as buying votes, equipping people with weapons, arson posters, obtaining means of identification in order not to vote, etc.

"The Institute of Political Studies has been making the map of the area of ​​electoral crimes for some time, and based on this, an experience has been gained based on the statistics it has had all this time. In the elections that will take place, several factors have been assessed, the first is the problem presented by the candidate for mayor or for the municipal council, this is also related to the case where parts of criminal organizations have received tenders and are influential persons, these are taken as indicators of risk. Talking about a map is very serious because there are police sources and surveys and polls, and these are risk areas, not that something will happen.

The first signals have come where you have seen them, not the burning of posters, the buying of votes, the dynamite in Vaun e Dejas, the denunciation in Pukë of armed persons. Today I was in Shkodër myself and the citizens said that there are armored columns walking in the city, this fact instills fear. I did not think that this could be so blatant and open.

From the political side, I don't know how to explain it because it's not my field, but today I say that there have been events in these bastions, cities, there is something that is holding them hostage. By saying bastion, we have had cases where people who could vote for the other rival force, there is no need to intimidate them not to leave the house, but they can take identification tools and pay them.

There are also cases when a blank ballot goes to the ballot box, while the person who gave it out has marked it, and he takes out the blank ballot to the person who is waiting outside. The districts that can be considered problematic remain Shkodra with Vau e Dejës, Lezha and the surroundings of Tirana, i.e. Kamza e Vora. Elbasan will be a quiet district, since those people who organized clashes, most of them have left, while the others are not engaged. "-  said Karamuço.
