The Democratic Party “reported” to these organizations that Mrs. Rama has been in a conflict of interest whenever she has been contracted by donors to conduct measurements, analyses, or assessments for Albania, as long as her husband is the country’s prime minister. Although the Democratic Party recognizes Mrs. Rama’s professionalism in the letter, they have requested that donors cease to collaborate with her in the future.

JavaNews has directly contacted “United Nations Albania,” and the Communications Office has responded regarding the letter on behalf of all member organizations, including UNICEF, ILO, UNDP, WHO, UNEP, UNHCR, and FAO.

Regarding your request, I would like to inform you of the official stance of the United Nations in Albania concerning the guarantee of integrity and fairness in recruitment practices, states the response in the email that JavaNews sent to the UN.
