Unofficial information for Euronews Albania speaks of a financial damage amounting to around 700 thousand euros.

However, this number has not yet received confirmation from the postal institution or law enforcement authorities.

Through a press release, Albanian Post announced that during the reconciliation process, irregularities and violations were discovered in the handling of funds dedicated to payment services.

The company clarified that these funds are completely separate from the pension budget and payments for pensioners.

As soon as the discrepancies were verified, Albanian Post leaders said they acted without delay with administrative sanctions against the responsible personnel. At the same time, the case was referred to the prosecution body, attaching a complete file with evidence for investigators.

“The Economic Directorate of Albanian Post sh.a., after noting discrepancies during the confrontation of financial data and reports, initiated a check at the Durrës Branch. Verifications brought to light irregularities in the administration of payment service funds. We wish to reiterate that these amounts do not affect pension funds in any way. Immediately after these findings, administrative measures were taken against the responsible employees and a criminal complaint was filed with the Prosecution, equipped with the necessary documentation,” states the institution’s statement.

The postal administration is providing full cooperation with the justice authorities, supplying them with all information and documents needed for the final clarification of the event.

Further procedural steps and determination of responsibilities will be in the hands of the judicial authorities.

Meanwhile, the same sources report that the head of finance of this branch, Valbona Hoti Duni, has also submitted her resignation.

Elisabeta Mataj had taken over the leadership of the Durrës post office in October 2025. She replaced Etleva Budini, who left the position after securing a seat in the Albanian Parliament as a result of the May 11 parliamentary elections.
