Grida Duma has responded to reports published in recent days by several portals claiming that she could become deputy prime minister in Edi Rama’s government.

In a statement posted on Instagram, Duma described the reports about her return to active politics and possible appointment to a government post as untrue.

She mocked the allegations, saying that the articles about her had “set the deal,” “found the sponsor” and even determined the position she would hold.

“For several days now, my name has been circulating as someone who will be part of the Rama government. They have set the deal, found the sponsor and determined my position. I found it amusing at first and let it run its course. It is an exercise in patience,” Duma said.

According to her, a response became necessary when what she called “the pack of rumors” began to grow larger.

“I have to respond when the pack of rumors, in fact, gives no chance to someone who must keep standing a system that, in my view, needs to be entirely reformed. Sleep peacefully; I have no intention of taking anyone’s place, because if I wanted to take someone’s place now, at this political moment, it would be bad for Albania,” she declared.

Duma also spoke about the possibility of returning to active politics. She stressed that she was not waiting to be invited by anyone and that, if one day she decided to become involved again, she would do so only if she believed she had something to offer Albania.

“No one is calling me into politics, and I am not waiting for invitations from others. If one day I make my own decision to enter politics, I will enter through my own door; I will not knock on anyone else’s door, and I am not waiting for invitations. My decision to enter politics will depend on whether I have something to offer Albania.

For days now, ministers, officials and MPs have been meeting in Pogradec and Tirana. I think all Albanians have their minds on their own doors, wondering whether white smoke will emerge in this reality of governance under dark clouds, and they mistakenly believe that this is the Albanian concern. While these people worry about their posts and chairs, Albanians have one major concern: do they still have a place in Albania?” Duma said.

She said that Albania’s challenges could not be overcome by a single person, regardless of that person’s role or stature.

“There is a great pledge to be made, in fact, a pledge of Albanian humanity to speak about the major issues of development, which are no longer connected to the individual, whoever that may be. The individual, even if that individual were a miracle of God, can no longer bring about change alone in this situation. It takes much more than one individual to deliver what Albanians expect in these days of rebellion, when they refuse to accept the situation in which Albania finds itself, a situation completely beyond the reach of those Albanians who know what the West is,” she declared.

In closing, Grida Duma called on politicians not to focus on her name or the possible names in the government, but on the citizens’ real concerns.

“What should keep Albanian politicians awake is not a name coming from outside. What should keep Albanian politicians awake is the reason why Albanians are still asking: ‘Do they have a place in Albania?’—not my name,” Grida Duma concluded.

According to GLPS, when it comes to such an important institutional position, the selection of which directly affects the functioning of the prosecutorial system and citizens’ trust in justice, the entire evaluation process must be accompanied by high standards of transparency and clear reasoning in decision-making.

“The Group for Legal and Political Studies (GLPS), as an organization that has closely monitored all phases so far of the competition for Chief State Prosecutor and with the aim of assessing the entire process as objectively as possible, on July 2, 2026, one day after the interviews with the candidates, submitted a request to the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council (KPK) seeking access to the score sheets of the Evaluation Panel. In the case of such an important institutional position, where the selection directly affects the functioning of the prosecutorial system and citizens’ trust in justice, the evaluation process must be accompanied by high standards of transparency and reasoning in decision-making.

Based on the seven-day deadline set by Law No. 06/L-081 on Access to Public Documents, the KPK chose silence in relation to this request, failing to respect legal obligations and the practice already established by the Information and Privacy Agency (AIP) regarding the right of NGOs to access the score sheets of candidates for Chief State Prosecutor. Therefore, the KPK’s lack of institutional willingness to allow access to these documents sends a negative signal regarding public expectations over the legal changes and the intended reform in this constitutional body.

The silent refusal to grant access creates unnecessary ambiguity and does not align with expectations for a constitutional institution that aims to strengthen transparency, accountability and public trust.

Access to these score sheets is essential to enable a fair, complete and well-founded assessment of the selection process for the Chief State Prosecutor, as well as to verify whether the institutional decision-making was carried out objectively, impartially and in accordance with the principles of transparency and meritocracy.

Therefore, GLPS today submitted a complaint against the KPK to the Information and Privacy Agency (AIP), requesting that it oblige the Council to allow access to the score sheets of the candidates for Chief State Prosecutor who were interviewed on July 1, 2026,” the reaction by the Group for Legal and Political Studies said.
