The US ambassador to our country, Yuri Kim, arrived at the CEC this morning.

Kim has met with the central election commissioner, Ilirian Celibashi.

It is learned that the ambassador to the CEC has gone to DASH's report on Russian money in Albanian parties.

Damian Gjiknuri and Jorida Tabaku were also called to the meeting.

Russia has secretly given more than $300 million to political parties and candidates in dozens of countries since 2014, and President Putin has engaged in covert political financing around the world, according to a senior US official.

According to the official who spoke to the media, this is the conclusion reached by a report by the US intelligence community which analyzed Russia's funding "in more than 24 countries over the past few years in an effort to manipulate democracies from within".

According to a source with knowledge of the US intelligence report, Albania is one of these countries.

"In Albania, Russia gave about half a million dollars to the Democratic Party in 2017 through shell companies," the US government source said.
