is a step back for a country led by the rule of law to demand political solution through so-called compromises, which in fact politicize and put in danger the role of the State Police.

We know the damage that could be caused for the ruling force if it doesn’t guarantee a behavior that respects the law and the constitution. Through my will, as a Minister, the will of this government to realize free and fair elections, is complete and very clear”, Xhafaj said, also warning that every police department that doesn’t fight against cannabis plantation, will be dismantled.
