We emphasize that at no time was there a debate or clash between BKH investigators and the Republican Guard...
SPAK and BKH have responded to Prime Minister Edi Rama's claims that agents of the National Bureau of Investigation had a clash with members of the Republic Guard because they refused to surrender their weapons. In SPAK's official response, the Prime Minister is called out for bluff, and he even comes across as a liar who fabricated a lie, accusing BKH agents of having a clash with the guards who guard the Prime Minister's Office.
From his podcast "Flasim", Rama raised the claim that BKH agents entered the Prime Minister's Office building, not even respecting the high security regulations of the Republic Guard.
" But I will never follow the perverse logic of sentencing based on evidence, not 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, if 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 ," Rama said.
But the reaction of SPAK and BKH completely refutes Edi Rama's claims.
" 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 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 time was there a debate or clash between BKH investigators and the Republican Guard ," SPAK's official response states.
SPAK's reaction:
In response to media requests and interest regarding the statement of the Prime Minister of Albania, Mr. Edi Rama, the National Bureau of Investigation clarifies the following:
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.
