Asked about visits by U.S. senators and the U.S. ambassador to SPAK, Berisha acknowledged that the agency is among the most frequently visited by foreign officials.

However,” he added, “SPAK has a major flaw: it covers up election crimes for the ruling party. It has over 51 files and 1,500 pages of evidence against Edi Rama and his ministers—backed by OSCE-ODIHR reports—and hasn’t touched a single one. For Albania and the rule of law, this is SPAK’s biggest failure. As long as it turns a blind eye to election crimes, it stands against political pluralism. Forgiving election fraud destroys the free vote and damages true political competition. /gj.m/j.p/p.s./
