SPAK has results/ EU Delegation reacts after the interruption of American funds:

The Delegation of the European Union has reacted to the freezing of US funds in Albania for 90 days as a result of an order signed by President Donald Trump. In its response, the EU Delegation to Albania states that it is determined to support the justice reform, emphasizing that SPAK has produced tangible results.

The reaction of the EU Delegation to Albania:

• We have learned of the announcement made by President Trump to temporarily suspend all U.S. foreign assistance programs for 90 days pending reviews by the new administration.

* The EU has been at the forefront of providing assistance for justice reform and is determined to continue supporting justice reform in Albania.

* Since the justice system underwent a fundamental reform in 2016, the EU has significantly intensified this support. This included budget support and over €50 million in technical assistance, specifically targeting institution building.

* Other significant resources are foreseen to continue this support smoothly, including through the Growth and Reform Facility for the Western Balkans.

* The role of SPAK and its independence in investigating, prosecuting and adjudicating complex corruption cases is of key importance. The EU has supported SPAK since its establishment through dedicated technical assistance under the EU4LEA and EU4 FOCAL projects with a total budget of over €8 million.

* SPAK has produced tangible results, contributing to Albania's overall efforts to establish a credible track record in the fight against serious crimes, organized crime and corruption, including at the high level. /CNA
