Second complaint filed against Sali Berisha over Tropoja killings, as SPAK remains silent
Published on March 26, 2025
Why is this important: The Haklaj family occupies a central role in the so-called Tropoja file, which refers to a period of sustained violence in the northern Albanian region during the late 1990s and early 2000s, marked by politically motivated killings and cycles of retaliation. Over nearly a decade, around 150 people were killed in incidents tied to shifting power dynamics in Tropoja—a region long seen as a stronghold of Berisha and his Democratic Party. The lack of movement on this case again raises questions about SPAK’s willingness to address politically sensitive investigations, particularly those involving Berisha, who has also been named in other unresolved files, including the Gërdec explosion where 26 people were killed and the January 21 killings of innocent protestors.
