Alongside the video posted on social media, Shehaj says the members of this delegation are “unfit to represent Albanians.”

“Scandal: the government delegation on an official visit is caught playing cards in the middle of Strasbourg. This is how seriously Taulant Balla and his friends take representing Albania in Europe. These people are unfit to represent Albanians,” Shehaj writes.

In this video, posted online, two protesters caught the Albanian delegation red-handed in Strasbourg as they were playing gambling card games.

The Government Commission on Missing Persons has announced that it has followed the public statements of human rights activist Natasha Kandić and that any data that could help clarify the fate of people who went missing during the war in Kosovo is taken with the utmost seriousness.

Speaking to ‘Bota sot’, Kushtrim Gara, head of the Unit at the Government Commission on Missing Persons, said the locations mentioned still remain among the areas considered of interest and a priority for verification.

“Aware of Ms. Natasha Kandić’s public statements, the Commission values any information that may contribute to shedding light on the fate and whereabouts of persons forcibly disappeared during the war in Kosovo. The locations mentioned also continue to be among the areas of interest and priority for verification,” Kushtrim Gara, head of the Unit at the Government Commission on Missing Persons, told ‘Bota sot’.

According to Gara, the investigative work carried out so far regarding mass graves has shown that in certain cases state structures were used to conceal the bodies of war victims.

“Our experience, including the confirmation so far of five mass graves on the territory of Serbia, has shown that facilities and structures under the control of the Serbian state apparatus were used to hide the bodies of war victims,” the Commission stressed.

However, the institution says that checking suspected locations continues to be a complicated process, especially when it comes to military areas where access is limited.

“These are large military complexes with restricted access, therefore their verification is challenging and is made more difficult by the lack of documentation and the lack of full cooperation in allowing assessment excavations,” it further said.

The Government Commission on Missing Persons also stressed that it will continue efforts to secure access to all information and archives related to this issue, within the framework of international commitments.

“We will continue to seek access to the documentation of the former Yugoslav Army and the relevant institutions of Serbia, in line with the Joint Declaration on Missing Persons of May 2, 2023. Only through this access can the process of clarifying the fate of missing persons move forward,” the response said.

He said the Smart City project should be monitored by the municipality, as happens around the world.

“Edi Rama is fully bringing back the surveillance of citizens from the darkest period of the communist dictatorship. As a reminder, for entire generations who do not know, during the dictatorship, all outdoor spaces, the sides of boulevards, trees, bridges, etc., etc., were filled with what at the time we called bugs, which recorded, 24 hours a day, every conversation held by citizens sitting along those sidewalks, or on benches, or in parks. The madness of the dictatorship knew no bounds.

Today, Edi Rama has installed an even deeper and more comprehensive surveillance system than the one that existed during the dictatorship. After installing equipment for the full recording and interception of the internet in Albania, which he did on the occasion of blocking TikTok and which continues even today to totally control internet communications in Albania, Edi Rama equipped and placed at the disposal of the State Police the project called Smart City.

Smart City is a project based on robotic cameras, with very high resolution and great capabilities, which in Europe is administered entirely by municipalities and is solely intended to serve citizens. Please, here you have a robotic camera that monitors day and night the protest, the peaceful uprising of Albanian citizens and youth. Such cameras have been installed on all four sides of Tirana and all of them are not at the disposal of the municipality, but at the disposal of the police state and the State Police,” Berisha said.
