President Begaj Meets with Leaders of the Authority on Informing about the Documents of the Former State Security

President of the Republic, H.E. Bajram Begaj, met today with the leaders of the Authority on Informing about the Documents of the Former State Security.

The President of the Republic commended the commitment of this institution to dealing with the past, and assured the Authority of his support in fulfilling the functions mandated by law.

Creating a culture of true repentance and apology from the perpetrators of this persecution is also an inexcusable delay. The hypocrisy and lack of consistency in establishing this model over the past 34 years must end,” stated the President of the Republic.

During the conversation, the Head of State emphasized the importance of raising awareness and educating the young Albanians who did not live under that regime.

As we enter the electoral year, the President of the Republic requested the Authority on Files to make efforts to timely verify the integrity of candidates running in the parliamentary elections, ensuring that voters are represented honorably by figures unconnected with the past.
