Albanias parliament, led by Prime Minister Edi Ramas Socialist Party, voted to block an arrest request against former Infrastructure Minister Balluku, accused of corruption in projects worth over €200 million. Balluku denies misconduct, while her predecessor, Arben Ahmetaj, faces similar charges and is sought for extradition by Swiss authorities. Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj, also from Ramas party, is in pre-trial detention on related accusations. The EU and foreign embassies emphasize the importance of rule of law and anti-corruption efforts for Albanias EU membership path. Rama defends the parliaments decision, citing constitutional rights and EU aspirations.
