Why is this important: This exchange highlights growing political tensions between the UK and Albania over migration, deportation, and public rhetoric around Albanian nationals.

Why is this important: This marks a turning point in international asset recovery. Criminals with links to Albania who launder profits through properties or assets in the country will no longer find it a safe haven. European governments are increasingly working with Albanian authorities to trace, seize, and repatriate illicit wealth—especially in cases involving transnational drug trafficking.

Why is this important: The move ends years of complaints over shrinking public beach space and rising private charges. Now, all Albanian beaches must offer free, accessible areas equipped with minimum infrastructure: restrooms, showers, lifeguards, and changing cabins.

Why is this important: The recount, requested by DP and approved by its own members in the Commission of Appeals and Sanctions (CAS), has so far unearthed only marginal, human errors—common in any manual counting process and well within international standards. In fact, in a plurality of cases, the errors seem to have favored the Democratic Party itself. The discrepancy between their public accusations and the reality of the vote count is striking. This undercuts Berisha’s repeated claims that the Socialist Party rigged the election and turns the spotlight inward.
