Security analyst Drizan Shala has published evidence that the Albanian military has long been under surveillance by a Serbian account. In an analysis published in the Tirana Examiner , Shala shows that on October 2, the Dunav Intel account on the X network, which stamps photos with Serbian Cyrillic, released images of the Armed Forces at the Biza training ground and called them exclusive.
The photographs show rows of tents, columns of tactical equipment, and old barracks. They were taken from a point above the polygon, at the time when the troops were there.
According to Shala, the account itself claims to have been following Biza for more than two years. It also records the flights of Albanian Bayraktar drones from the NATO air base in Kuçova, one by one, according to the transponder code.
"This account is a visible part of a broader effort to monitor the Albanian Armed Forces, with a hostile character and in the interests of Serbia," Shala writes.
He recalls that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has called the defense partnership between Albania, Croatia, and Kosovo “directed against Serbia.” Serbia has the largest defense budget in the region and three weeks ago held an offensive scenario exercise in Peshter.
A senior defense official told the Tirana Examiner that the problem is ongoing and that Albania has no anti-drone capabilities, neither against this espionage nor against other threats.
The analysis links this to the SPAK investigation into the Ministry of Defense. According to the Tirana Examiner, the purchase being investigated is precisely an anti-drone system, a device that would detect and shoot down drones over Bizë and Kuçovë. The publication emphasizes that this information does not come from the investigative file.
Shala writes that SPAK has the right to investigate, but notes that the data was published on the portals from the first day: the file number, the personal check, the type of documents obtained. He demands that the documents be reviewed under investigative secrecy, by officers with security clearance, and that the source of the leaks be revealed with the same energy as the purchase itself.
The analyst does not claim that the Serbian account, the media scandal and the leaks from the dossier are coordinated. But his conclusion is harsh: “We are doing the enemy’s work ourselves.”
"The question used to be who is watching the Albanian army. Now it's why so many people inside Albania are making it harder for the army to stop those watching it," he writes.
