Prime Minister Edi Rama and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were asked at a joint press conference in Tirana about SPAK's action against the former director of SHISH, Vlora Hyseni, and whether this issue had been discussed between them.

Rama said that what is treated by some in Albania as regression is seen by the European Union as progress, linking this to the fight against organized crime and corruption.

"You have to ask yourself why the European Commission, why the European Union, sees events that are treated locally to strike and spread waves of despair as reasons to consider Albania a very serious partner and a country that has its aspirations linked to the fact of a daily effort in all aspects and in these aspects with evidence of an uncompromising fight against crime and corruption.

You have to ask yourself this question, because what many here see as regression, the European Union sees as progress. It is not just progress, but transformation. We live in an era of transformation like never before. As far as I am concerned, we are more than ever on the right track and, as I said and I am repeating it and I will repeat it whenever I get the chance, until yesterday corruption was the system, today for the first time this country has a system that is gaining self-correcting, self-cleaning, anti-corruption capabilities, which every democratic system has thanks to the separation of powers, where each power does its job.

As for sensitive information, I think it should be left to the court and not to the sporadic reading of investigative materials that are released to fool the public. Therefore, I think it should be left to the court to see if there are things that have violated credibility with partners or national security. The news I have for you is that such a concern about these materials has not come to us so far from any partner.

And of course I spoke about the partners who have been left speechless, I said they are those in the security system, not about the allies, but I said about the partners who deal with the service. The issue is unprecedented in the history of the world how it was handled. I expect the prosecutors to do their job, the court to do its job and in the end the result will come out", said Rama.
