The RTSH annual report for 2025 highlights a deep financial and structural crisis of the public broadcaster, with a budget deficit, a continuous increase in liabilities and a significant lack of income. The data show that the institution has failed to realize its financial plan, creating a large gap in collections and a continuous pressure on liquidity, while debts have increased and a significant part of them is related to contracts for sports rights.
Albanian Radio Television has been completely dismantled. During the time that Alfred Peza was at its helm, it seems that public television has been mired in debt and any form of organization has disappeared.
The annual report for the year behind us has been submitted to the Assembly, but in every point of it, current director Eni Vasili shows that everywhere is "darker and darker".
While the prime minister recently warned that public television could be closed, the situation there is very serious.
The document acknowledges that RTSH is in a phase of transition and deep institutional review, where weaknesses accumulated over the years in management, planning and organization have been identified. Although the institution has managed to maintain the basic functioning of the public service, the report makes it clear that this stability is only operational, while real sustainability remains uncertain.
" The internal analysis at the beginning of 2025 highlighted: overlapping functions between directorates; fragmentation of decision-making responsibilities; lack of clarity in the reporting chain; planning disconnected from procurement and finance; platform structure not balanced with real production capacities ," the report states.
It is further emphasized that in the technical aspect, the situation is also urgent: “ The current state of the technical infrastructure is the result of a long period of limited investments and partial modernization of technological systems. Although the current system has guaranteed the continuity of service, it is increasingly operating at the limits of its capacities. Postponing investments is not only a development problem, but a direct operational risk. If this trend continues, the consequences will not be limited only to the quality of transmission, but may also affect the technical stability of the network, the security of the systems and the ability of the RTSH to cope with the demands of an increasingly digital and competitive media environment .”
In terms of finances, the data is even more worrying. RTSH has generated around 2.36 billion lek in revenue during 2025, but only 86.7% of the plan, creating a deficit of over 366 million lek. At the same time, expenses have reached around 2.5 billion lek, leading the institution to a deficit of almost 140 million lek, a clear indicator of the lack of financial balance.
This deficit is not episodic, but the result of a financial model described as fragile by the report itself. RTSH relies mainly on the television fee and funding from the state budget, while income from commercial activities remains minimal and with limited impact on liquidity. This high dependence on limited resources makes the institution unsustainable in the long term.
The problems are further exacerbated by the continuous increase in liabilities. During 2025, debts increased by over 10% compared to the previous year, while monthly income was not sufficient to cover their repayment. The report itself admits that RTSH did not have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations on time, creating constant pressure on the functioning of the institution.
One of the biggest problems is related to the structure of these liabilities. The majority of the debt is concentrated in sports rights, which account for around 62% of the total, a level that indicates high financial commitments without a stable revenue base to cover them. These contracts were entered into with expectations of increased revenues that have not materialized.
In addition to operational obligations, RTSH also carries a heavy long-term financial burden, with the obligation to the Ministry of Finance alone for the digitalization process reaching around 1.75 billion lek. This further aggravates the financial situation and limits the scope for investment.
And investments are another critical point. According to the report, capital investments have only been implemented at 26% of the plan, while several projects for technological equipment have been canceled or postponed. This means that the infrastructure remains depreciated and the digitalization process progresses at a slow pace, hindering the modernization of the institution.
In terms of organization and editorial, the situation is equally problematic. The report highlights a significant lack of capacity in several key structures. A concrete example is the RTSH Kuvend channel, which operates with a minimal structure, with only one editor and one journalist, making it impossible to build a genuine and analytical programming. The document itself acknowledges that the lack of staff and editorial structure significantly limits the quality of content and the fulfillment of the public mission.

Nga analiza krahasuese e detyrimeve të pritshme për arkëtim rezulton se gjatë vitit 2025 evidentohet një rritje e nivelit të detyrimeve. Në krahasim me të njëjtën periudhë të vitit 2024, detyrimet janë rritur me rreth 10.3%, ndërsa krahasuar me gjashtëmujorin e parë të vitit 2025 evidentohet një rritje prej rreth 3.6%.
Rritja e detyrimeve gjatë gjysmës së parë të vitit lidhet kryesisht me:
• nivelin më të ulët të të ardhurave të realizuara në raport me planifikimin;
• rritjen e detyrimeve për blerjen e të drejtave sportive;
• detyrimet e mbartura nga periudhat e mëparshme.
Në gjashtëmujorin e dytë të vitit 2025 janë ndërmarrë masa për stabilizimin e situatës financiare dhe reduktimin e detyrimeve të mbartura. Si rezultat, në datën 31.12.2025 niveli i detyrimeve rezulton rreth 9 milion lekë më i ulët krahasuar me nivelin e regjistruar në 30.06.2025, duke reflektuar përpjekjet për likuidimin e detyrimeve kontraktore gjatë vitit.
Megjithatë, niveli aktual i arkëtimeve mujore nuk ka qenë i mjaftueshëm për të mundësuar shlyerjen e plotë të detyrimeve të prapambetura.
Struktura e detyrimeve
Analiza e strukturës së detyrimeve tregon një përqendrim të lartë të tyre në kategorinë e të drejtave sportive.
• Detyrimet për të drejtat sportive përbëjnë rreth 62% të totalit të detyrimeve të institucionit.
• Vetëm detyrimet ndaj FSHF dhe UEFA përbëjnë rreth 59% të detyrimeve ndaj furnitorëve.
Ky nivel i lartë i detyrimeve lidhet me kontraktimin e të drejtave sportive me kosto të konsiderueshme, të cilat janë planifikuar të mbulohen kryesisht nga rritja e të ardhurave nga tarifa e aparatit televiziv ose nga financimi shtesë buxhetor.
Diferencat në arkëtime (Cash)
Në përmbledhje të analizës së realizimit të të ardhurave dhe arkëtimeve gjatë vitit 2025, RTSH e mbyll vitin me një diferencë në arkëtime në vlerën rreth 394.8 milion lekë, e cila përbëhet nga:
• 214.9 milion lekë mungesë nga të ardhurat e tarifës së aparatit televiziv;
• 87.9 milion lekë mungesë nga të ardhurat e vetë institucionit;
• 41 milion lekë detyrime të papaguara që duhej të arkëtoheshin gjatë vitit.
Këto diferenca kanë ndikuar drejtpërdrejt në nivelin e likuiditetit të institucionit dhe në aftësinë për të përballuar në kohë detyrimet financiare.
Detyrime financiare afatgjata
RTSH mbart gjithashtu detyrime financiare të mëparshme që lidhen me procesin e digjitalizimit të transmetimit. Detyrimi ndaj Ministrisë së Financave për kredinë e marrë në kuadër të këtij procesi është në vlerën 1,754,457,057 lekë (18,035,126 euro). Detyrimi ndaj Deutsche Bank është shlyer plotësisht gjatë vitit 2024.
Detyrime kontraktore dhe gjyqësore
Përveç detyrimeve financiare të sipërpërmendura, RTSH mbart edhe detyrime të tjera që lidhen me:
• projekte programore dhe artistike të periudhës maj–qershor 2025, në vlerën rreth 30 milion lekë;
• detyrime që rrjedhin nga procese gjyqësore të fituara nga ish-punonjës të institucionit;
• detyrime kontraktore ndaj furnitorëve dhe partnerëve të ndryshëm.
Vlerësimi i përgjithshëm i situatës financiare
In conditions where RTSH faces continuous increases in operating costs, especially for:
• the wage fund,
• program projects,
• purchasing sports rights,
The failure to fully realize planned revenues has created difficulties in managing liquidity and in meeting financial obligations on time.
State budget support during 2025 has been an important stabilizing factor, especially for financing employee salary increases.
However, the financial sustainability of the institution remains influenced by two structural elements:
• the television set fee, which remains at 1200 lek/year and has not been revised since 2011;
• the percentage retained by OSHEE for collecting the tariff, currently 10%, while RTSH has continuously requested its reduction to 2%.
During 2025, despite the well-argued requests of the RTSH for an increase in budget funding, the Ministry of Finance approved only a funding supplement for the calculation of the salaries of the RTSH orchestra members with the salaries of the orchestra members of the National Opera and Ballet Theater, with effect from October 2025. / Pamphlet
