										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DP MP Belind Këlliçi raises concerns about the licensing of an online bank and suspicions of links to Forex platforms.</p>
<p>He has raised concerns about the licensing process of a new online bank in Albania, warning of potential risks to financial security. In a public reaction, he states that the country risks turning into a terrain where suspicious financial activities can be institutionalized.</p>
<p>According to him, Albania has become a terrain where criminal groups test their limits, while one of the most widespread activities remains call centers that extort European citizens through financial fraud.</p>
<p>The MP emphasizes that he has addressed a request for information to the Bank of Albania regarding the licensing process of JET Bank, requesting data on shareholders, the source of initial capital and the verifications carried out by the Supervisory Council.</p>
<p>According to the central bank&#8217;s response, a preliminary approval has been given for the licensing of the institution, while the financial analysis is based on one of the partners, Idan Avishai.</p>
<p>The MP criticizes the institution&#8217;s response, emphasizing that it has not been clarified whether the shareholders had any connections to Forex platforms. He adds that public information indicates that executives of companies linked to the bank&#8217;s shareholders had connections to the Fortrade Cyprus platform, which was previously reported for unlicensed activity in Albania by the Financial Supervisory Authority.</p>
<p>“Directors of Jet Holding and Constador LTD (71.52% shareholder of Jet Bank) are linked to Fortrade Cyprus (which initially operated under the name FX Lider), a platform reported in 2018 by the Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF) for unlicensed activity in Albania.</p>
<p>However, in public information, it can easily be verified that Jet Bank has no previous experience, as it has not operated in any country in the world. There is no history of its operation, successful or not, outside of Albania where it has just received its license.</p>
<p>This fact is even more important if we consider that it is not a traditional bank, but the first online bank in Albania.</p>
<p>This information, easily accessible, is enough to raise the alarm.</p>
<p>What was denounced as an illegal activity yesterday, today risks turning into a licensed activity. Paradoxically, an online bank licensed by the Bank of Albania has shareholders linked to structures that have previously been denounced for illegal financial activity by another Albanian state institution.</p>
<p>It is up to law enforcement institutions to verify the legality of these shareholders, but today it is up to me to raise major concerns regarding the financial security and protection of Albanian citizens.</p>
<p>As if these doubts were not enough, the sole shareholder of JET Bank, Jet Holdings B.V., has registered the company Jet Tech in Durana Tech Park in November 2025, where we all know that one of the facilities is 0 taxes! ”, writes Këlliçi.</p>
<p>According to him, the fact that it is an online bank with no previous operating history makes the situation even more sensitive, while warning that the banking system should not risk turning into a “licensed call center”. The MP has warned that he will again address the Bank of Albania with a new request for more detailed information and that the matter will also be forwarded to law enforcement institutions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span dir="auto">Jet Bank completes the licensing process from the Bank of Albania to operate with full capacity in the Albanian market.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">After licensing, Jet Bank will enter a preliminary testing phase, during which the application will be accessible to a select group of users.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">This development confirms the support this initiative has from the Government and the Bank of Albania, but questions about transparency around ownership, security requirements, and financial stability continue to remain insufficiently clarified for the public.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to official announcements, JET Bank was established in September 2025 with a relatively small initial capital (around 3.5 million lek) with founder Idan Avishai, a dual citizen, Israeli and British, Albeu.com reports.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The company is controlled by the Dutch-registered holding company, Jet Holdings, while indirect shareholders are a group of commercial companies registered in Cyprus and Israel.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The main shareholder in Jet Holdings is the Cypriot company Constador LTD. According to information from the business register in Cyprus, the sole shareholder of the company is Idan Avishai, the same person who fully controlled Jet Albania, which preceded JET Bank, in order to establish the relevant structures to prepare the company&#8217;s activity.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">However, the bank has so far been reluctant to provide full transparency regarding its shareholding structure. Officially, the bank is presented as part of Jet Holdings, a British consortium based in Amsterdam.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In fact, Jet Holdings is a company founded in September 2025 and registered in the Netherlands, with paid-up capital of 50 thousand euros.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to the official documentation filed, Jet Holdings has six joint stock companies, namely: Constador LTD, a company registered in Cyprus, with approximately 71.5% of the shares; Don Albania Holdings LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 3.7% of the shares; Ori Eyal LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 2.6% of the shares; Yebogogo LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 4.9% of the shares; Nathan Lawrence LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 4.9% of the shares; Israel Albania Holding LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 12.4% of the shares.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In the UK business register, citizen Idan Avishai, born in January 1980, also appears as a shareholder and director of SON MANAGEMENT LTD, a company registered in the year with the main activity of management and consultancy in activities outside of financial management, but indirect data indicates that he is the person behind the online trading platform, Fortrade.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The Fortrade platform (which initially operated under the name FX Lider) was publicly reported in 2018 by the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF) for conducting unlicensed financial activity in the Republic of Albania. Market sources indicate that the counterpart authority in Croatia, HANFA, has also done so.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Meanwhile, at the initial establishment of the company in Albania, Oliver Hemmer&#8217;s name was also present.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Oliver Hemmer’s name is linked to several fraud schemes. In a 2019 report obtained by Albeu.com, federal officials are investigating an unregistered company based in Berlin, Germany, called Gal Blocklntl Ltd (the </span><strong><span dir="auto">“4XFX”</span></strong><span dir="auto"> platform ), which was operating without proper authorization. According to the report, the company’s managing director, Oliver Hemmer, was running a fraud scheme called </span><strong><span dir="auto">“4XFX”</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and that he was also being investigated as the main beneficiary. Reports have been filed against the company in the United Kingdom, Spain and Estonia, and Australia in connection with this matter. ( </span><a href="http://burimi%20i%20materialit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span dir="auto">https://www.scribd.com/document/714449499/report-for-the-fraudulent-activities-4xfx-com</span></a><span dir="auto"> )</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In relation to the “4XFX” platform fraud scheme, important institutions have published notices denouncing the scheme. (The denunciation of </span><a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/4xfx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span dir="auto">the British FCA</span></a><span dir="auto"> and the denunciation by </span><a href="https://moneysmart.gov.au/check-and-report-scams/investor-alert-list#!4xfx-1213" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span dir="auto">the Australian financial authorities</span></a><span dir="auto"> )</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">4XFX</span></strong><span dir="auto"> was a fraudulent and unregulated cryptocurrency and forex trading platform that targeted investors in multiple countries (UK, Canada, Australia) around 2019, claiming to offer bitcoin, gold and oil trading, but instead defrauded users, with regulators such as the FCA and MSC issuing warnings, and the platform’s website later being shut down. It is a classic example of an unlicensed scheme where users lose money, often leading to subsequent “recovery room” scams.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">The licensing of JET Bank did not go without debate even within the structures of the Bank of Albania, and according to information, a manager in the Supervision Department resigned without signing the proposal for granting prior approval for a license to this entity.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to information circulating among financial market professionals, the licensing of JET Bank was done with the support of influential people close to the government. /albeu.com/</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artificial intelligence startups continue to dominate venture capital headlines in 2026, with major funding rounds and soaring valuations reshaping the global startup landscape. As investors pour billions into next-generation technologies, from AI infrastructure to autonomous systems, Albeu.com published the recent report of <a href="https://www.bestbrokers.com/forex-brokers/most-valuable-unicorn-startups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BestBrokers</a> exploring the world of private businesses valued at US$1 billion or more, known as unicorns.</p>
<p>For this report, the team at BestBrokers analysed the Crunchbase Unicorn Board’s list of private startups with a valuation of at least US$1 billion, or the so-called ‘unicorns’. Data was also aggregated from PitchBook and several other sources on the largest private company funding rounds and company valuations throughout 2025 and 2026. The full dataset used is available on Google Drive via this link.</p>
<p>Data shows that Elon Musk’s SpaceX has emerged as the world’s most valuable private startup, reaching a staggering $1.25 trillion valuation following its merger with xAI, the billionaire’s other high-profile venture. The deal makes it the most valuable private company in history, overtaking OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, whose valuation has also surged to $840 billion after securing the largest investment ever made in a private company, a $110 billion backing from Nvidia, SoftBank, and Amazon.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <strong>.kosova</strong> Web3 domain is now being offered by Freename through its dedicated page at <a href="https://freename.io/discover/kosova" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://freename.io/discover/kosova</a>. Freename presents itself as a platform for Web3 domains and custom top-level domains, and these blockchain-based names are designed for digital identity, payments, websites and other decentralized utilities.</p>
<p>This matters because early access is often the most strategic moment in any digital naming market. In the beginning, the strongest names are usually still available: brand names, media names, family names, startup names, city names, and premium keyword combinations. For businesses, NGOs, creators, public figures and the Kosovo diaspora, buying a <strong>.kosova</strong> name now can be a way to secure brand protection early, establish a recognizable Web3 identity, and position themselves before the namespace becomes more competitive. Freename also says domains can later be listed on its aftermarket, giving early buyers not only branding value, but potential resale value as well.</p>
<p>According to experts, Web3 domains can be used for much more than simple branding. The company says they web3 domains can replace long wallet addresses with human-readable names, be linked to wallets, support crypto transfers, and be used for websites, Web3 email, messaging, and digital identity.</p>
<p>Another reason this stage is important is ownership structure. Web3 domains come with no renewal fees and are intended to be held permanently, which makes an early registration more attractive for buyers who want to lock in a name for long-term use. For Kosovo-focused brands and communities, that means a chance to secure a memorable digital asset now rather than compete for it later.</p>
<p>There is, however, an important practical point: Web3 domains do not always work exactly like traditional web domains in every browser or app by default. Browsing and full interaction may require compatible tools such as its browser extension, DNS service, or other supported applications. That means the real value of <strong>.kosova</strong> today is strongest for users who want to build early in Web3, claim identity, prepare future use cases, or protect names before adoption grows further.</p>
<p>For anyone who wants to claim a name tied to Kosovo’s digital identity, this is a first-mover opportunity: a chance to secure a relevant, memorable, and future-facing address while the market is still young.</p>
<p>For any query regarding the domain <strong>.kosova</strong>, visit <a href="https://freename.io/discover/kosova" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://freename.io/discover/kosova</a> or write to &lt;script&gt;document.write(&#8216;info&#8217; + &#8216;@&#8217; + &#8216;campaign.al&#8217;);&lt;/script&gt;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Germany remains a country where the German language clearly dominates, but the latest data published by the Statistisches Bundesamt (Destatis) for the years 2024–2025 show a changing reality: more and more families use more than one language in everyday life, writes Albeu.com.</p>
<p>According to the latest results of the 2024 Microcensus, around 77% of the population in Germany speaks only German at home, while 17% use German together with another language. Meanwhile, 6% of residents communicate at home only in non-German languages.</p>
<p>These figures confirm a clear trend: Germany is increasingly becoming a multilingual society.</p>
<p><strong>Turkish, Russian and Arabic dominate</strong></p>
<p>Of the approximately 15 million people who use a language other than German (or alongside it) at home, the most widespread languages ​​are:</p>
<p>Turkish – around 2.6% of the total population<br />
Russian – around 2.3%<br />
Arabic – around 1.7%<br />
English – around 1.3%<br />
Polish – around 1.2%<br />
Italian – around 0.6%</p>
<p>These percentages reflect the historical and recent waves of migration to Germany, from Turkey, the countries of the former USSR, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.</p>
<p><strong>Albanian among the most widely used languages</strong></p>
<p>As Albeu.com learns, according to data processed from the 2024 microcensus, around 0.7% of the population in Germany uses Albanian at home. This translates to approximately 600 thousand people who communicate in Albanian in everyday life.</p>
<p>The Albanian community in Germany includes citizens originating from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania and other Albanian territories in the region, making Albanian one of the most present Balkan languages ​​on German territory.</p>
<p><strong>Migration and multilingualism</strong></p>
<p>Destatis emphasizes that multilingualism is most pronounced among people with a migration background – that is, those who themselves or their parents have emigrated to Germany after 1950.</p>
<p>Within this group, only 22% speak exclusively German at home, around 55% use German together with another language and approximately 23% communicate only in a non-German language.</p>
<p>These figures show that language remains a key element of cultural identity for migrant communities, but also that linguistic integration continues to be a dynamic process.</p>
<p>At the end of 2024, Germany had around 83.6 million inhabitants, with a significant percentage of the population of foreign origin.</p>
<p>Although German remains the dominant and connecting language of society, official data clearly shows that the country&#8217;s social reality is multilingual. From Turkish to Arabic, from Russian to Albanian – today&#8217;s Germany speaks more languages ​​than ever before. /albeu.com/</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the public debate about the “Smart City” project remains heated, the company that will benefit from 140 million dollars from the pockets of Albanian citizens has already been created. Presight AI Ltd, the Arab company that secured the controversial contract, officially established its branch in Albania, just three weeks ago, reports Albeu.com.</p>
<p>Presight AI Ltd Albania Branch has been registered at the National Business Center with a clear and single object: the implementation of the “Smart City” project in the Republic of Albania. The official extract of the company states that the activity includes the supply of computer equipment and software, installation, implementation, as well as support and maintenance services — in short, everything that the hefty contract of 140 million dollars foresees.</p>
<p><strong>A 140 million dollar project, a zero tender</strong></p>
<p>As Albeu.com learns, the “Smart City” project foresees the installation of about 5 thousand monitoring cameras in the main cities of the country, as well as the supply of the State Police with about 3 thousand body cameras. All this, according to the government, to increase security and intelligent traffic management.</p>
<p>But behind the technological facade lies a financial scheme that burdens Albania with a heavy debt. In March of last year, the government approved in Parliament a loan of 118 million dollars from the Abu Dhabi Fund, with a repayment period of 15 years and an interest rate of 4 percent. The irony is that the money does not stay in Albania for a single day: it is returned to Abu Dhabi to pay Presight, without any competitive procedure.</p>
<p>The contract for the implementation of the project was entrusted to the Ministry of Interior, which set up a special negotiating group. But the reluctance to sign a contract without a tender and with a staggering cost brought tensions to the highest levels of government.</p>
<p>In November, Prime Minister Edi Rama was seen publicly irritated on the streets of Rome, shouting on the phone at Deputy Minister Julian Hodaj about the delays in closing the contract. A few days later, Hodaj was dismissed. In his place was appointed Xhemal Qefalia, who, unlike his predecessor, did not hesitate: on December 19, the signature on the contract was thrown.</p>
<p><strong>What is bought with 140 million dollars?</strong></p>
<p>According to official documents, the project includes the installation of artificial intelligence platforms for urban management and traffic, the construction of a control center, as well as equipping the police with monitoring technology.</p>
<p><em>In detail, the contract provides for:</em></p>
<p>2,239 ANPR cameras for automatic license plate recognition,</p>
<p>2,602 PTZ cameras for traffic monitoring,</p>
<p>3,816 body cameras for State Police employees,</p>
<p>100 intelligent radars and 100 noise sensors for monitoring speed and road safety.</p>
<p>The company will also provide maintenance services for four years.</p>
<p><strong>Cost inflation and lack of transparency</strong></p>
<p>The cost of the project raises serious questions. $31 million will be paid for software licenses alone. Hardware and infrastructure cost $62.4 million. $8 million goes for professional services and $17.1 million for maintenance — all without VAT.</p>
<p>In total, the bill amounts to $140 million.</p>
<p>Market experts note that ANPR and PTZ cameras are easily found on the market at prices ranging from $500 to $1,500 apiece. In this light, the figure of over $62 million for about 8,000 cameras seems blatantly inflated.</p>
<p>But when there is no competition, cost inflation is not a surprise. The scheme is familiar: the decision comes from above, firms are rejected, and citizens pay the bill.</p>
<p>In other words: The company was created so that $140 million could change hands. /albeu.com/</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Supervisory Council of the Bank of Albania has given preliminary approval for the licensing of “JET Bank”, a financial institution that aims to operate fully digitally and without physical branches — a step that marks the end of years without major innovations in the country’s banking system and a trend towards digital financial services.</p>
<p>According to official announcements, JET Bank was established in September 2025 with a relatively small initial capital (around 36,000 euro, or 3.5 million lek) with owner and founder Idan Avishai, a dual citizen, Israeli and British, reports Albeu.com.</p>
<p>According to the law, Jet Bank, which has received preliminary approval for a license, must meet all the conditions provided for in the law “On banks in the Republic of Albania” and the by-laws implementing it, within 12 months, in order to be provided with a license to start banking activities in our country.</p>
<p>The bank&#8217;s administrator will be Fatbardha Rino, a well-known figure in the financial sector in Albania, having previously held management positions in second-tier banks as well as the position of executive director of Iute Pay, a financial institution often accused of manipulation and fraud with microcredits.</p>
<p>Other members of the bank&#8217;s board are Oliver Hemmer and Rami Solomon, also of Israeli origin.</p>
<p>Idan Avishai has so far kept a low profile and public information about him is scarce, while according to his Linkedin profile, his experience is mainly related to the activity of online trading platforms or as they are known in financial jargon &#8220;forex platforms&#8221;, reports <a href="https://albeu.com/lajme/jet-bank-banka-e-pare-dixhitale-ne-shqiperi-ngjall-shqetesime-per-transparencen-dhe-stabilitetin-financiar/846611/" target="_blank">Albeu.com</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the other two Israeli names, board members, are almost anonymous with very little information on the internet, and raise questions about the bank&#8217;s goals and background, leaving room for uncertainty among the public and potential investors.</p>
<p>The only relevant information about Oliver Hemmer is a 2019 report that states that federal officials are investigating an unregistered company based in Berlin, Germany, called Gal Blocklntl Ltd (the &#8220;4XFX&#8221; platform), which was operating without proper authorization. According to the report, the company&#8217;s managing director, Oliver Hemmer, was running a fraud scheme called &#8220;4XFX&#8221; and that he was also being investigated as the main beneficiary. Reports have been filed about the company in the United Kingdom, Spain and Estonia, and Australia in this regard. (<a href="http://Source of the material" target="_blank">https://www.scribd.com/document/714449499/report-for-the-fraudulent-activities-4xfx-com</a>)</p>
<p>Regarding the &#8220;4XFX&#8221; platform fraud scheme, important institutions have published notices denouncing the scheme. (Reported by the UK&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/4xfx" target="_blank">FCA</a> and reported by <a href="https://moneysmart.gov.au/check-and-report-scams/investor-alert-list#!4xfx-1213" target="_blank">the Australian Financial Supervisory Authority</a>)</p>
<p><strong>4XFX</strong> was a fraudulent and unregulated cryptocurrency and forex trading platform that targeted investors in multiple countries (UK, Canada, Australia) around 2019, claiming to offer bitcoin, gold and oil trading, but instead defrauding users, with regulators such as the FCA and MSC issuing warnings, and the platform&#8217;s website later being shut down. It is a classic example of an unlicensed scheme where users lose money, often leading to subsequent &#8220;recovery room&#8221; scams.</p>

<p>&#8220;Anonymous&#8221; foreign names opening companies in strategic sectors is a scheme known in the world, and often encountered in Albania, where foreigners are used to camouflage the real owners or investors of a business.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, economic experts call this project a “time mine for Albanians’ money,” highlighting the potential risks to the financial stability of the system if the new bank does not have a strong infrastructure, sufficient monitoring, or full transparency in operations.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Këngëtari Erik Lloshi ka shprehur zhgënjimin dhe revoltën e tij pas disa komenteve të papërshtatshme që ka marrë së fundmi, ndërsa ka folur publikisht për ndarjen nga jeta të mikut dhe kolegut të tij, Shpat Kasapit. Lloshi tregoi se pas vdekjes së papritur të artistit, ai ishte i ftuar në një emision televiziv ku nuk ka mundur të përmbahet dhe ka shpërthyer në lot, i prekur nga lajmi tragjik.</p>
<p>Megjithatë, pikërisht pas këtij momenti të vështirë, ai është përballur me reagime që e kanë tronditur. Sipas tij, disa gazetarë dhe persona nga produksioni i kanë bërë komente si: “Sa bukur qaje”, ndërsa të tjerë madje i kanë propozuar të rikthehej sërish në studio për të “qarë” në nder të këngëtarit të ndjerë. Këto qasje të ftohta dhe joprofesionale e kanë irrituar thellë Lloshin, i cili tha se ishte e pabesueshme që dhimbja e një humbjeje mund të trajtohej si spektakël.</p>
<p>Shpat Kasapi ndërroi jetë pak ditë më parë pas një sulmi në zemër, teksa ndodhej në Itali për trajtimin shëndetësor të djalit të tij. Lajmi tronditi publikun dhe komunitetin artistik shqiptar, pasi Kasapi ishte vetëm 40 vjeç. Ai u varros në Tetovë, qytetin e tij të lindjes, ku edhe kishte nisur rrugëtimin në muzikë dhe ishte bërë një nga emrat më të dashur për publikun.</p>
<p>Reagimi i Lloshit ka hapur diskutime mbi mënyrën se si trajtohen personalitetet publike në momente të dhimbshme dhe mbi respektin që duhet treguar ndaj humbjeve njerëzore.</p>
