Prime Minister Edi Rama, commenting today on the return of Minister Belinda Balluku to office, following the Constitutional Court's decision, also recounted an episode where, according to him, employees of the National Bureau of Investigation went to the Prime Minister's Office and refused to hand over the pistol according to the regulations.

The Chief Executive added that the time has come for serious, professional and inter-institutional reflection to bring justice towards European standards.

"I will not in any way follow the perverse logic of sentencing by evidence, even in this case, but I will remain convinced that these two extremely disturbing pieces of evidence do not prove that the protagonists of the independence of justice have lost their minds and have become convinced that they are the state, the law and justice, like the work of some brave men of the BKH, about whom I have heard many strange things, but they had come one day to the Council of Ministers building and did not want to leave the door open according to the high security regulations of the Republic Guard.

So, I do not want to say in any way that the thorns of old mindsets and diseases have taken the bridge of new justice, but I want to share with all the conviction that the time has come for a serious, professional and inter-institutional reflection, to separate the newborn baby from the dirty waters, in a historical process, where we must necessarily guarantee the success of the Justice Reform, we must guarantee the independence of the judiciary, where we also cannot necessarily allow the cure to become a bigger problem than the disease, endangering the freedoms, rights and breathing space of the country's administration and economy ", said Rama in his podcast 'Flasim'.

Following Prime Minister Rama's statement, the National Bureau of Investigation also responded.

According to the BKH, after investigators were informed by the Republic Guard that according to the regulations in force, entry with firearms into the interior of the Prime Minister's Office is not permitted, one of the investigators requested clarification on the manner and location of the weapons' storage.

"After verifying that the storage environment was secure and monitored by cameras, the investigators deposited the weapons and continued with the procedural actions as normal," says BKH.

The full response of the National Bureau of Investigation:

On November 20, 2025, three investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation (BKH) appeared at the premises of the Council of Ministers for the execution of the decision of the Special Court of First Instance, no. 118, dated 19.11.2025, through which the measure of suspension from office was imposed on the Deputy Prime Minister, Ms. Belinda Balluku.

At the internal entrance of the Council of Ministers, the investigators were informed by the Guard of the Republic that according to the regulations in force, entry with firearms into the internal premises of the institution is not allowed. One of the investigators requested clarification on the manner and place of storage of weapons. The Guard of the Republic directed them to leave the weapons in the special security lockers at the entrance of the institution.

After verifying that the storage environment was secure and monitored by cameras, the investigators deposited the weapons and continued with the procedural actions as normal.

We emphasize that at no point was there a debate or clash between BKH investigators and the Republican Guard.

The right of BKH investigators to carry firearms is based on Law No. 25/2019 "On the Organization and Functioning of the Judicial Police", where Article 31, point 3, expressly provides that Judicial Police officers, including those of the National Bureau of Investigation, are equipped with firearms according to the legislation in force for their use.
