Kasanof: The US strongly supports SPAK, it is facing a difficult challenge

The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans, Alexander Kasanof, reiterated US support for SPAK.

In an interview for the Voice of America, Kasanof said that he strongly supports SPAK and wants to see it continue its work.

"At SPAK, I made sure to talk about the continued and very strong support for the work of that institution. It should be noted that in my public and private meetings, I spoke about the importance of the rule of law and that no man or woman is above the law and that the cases pursued by SPAK will go wherever the evidence leads and that is something that we support not only as a process, but also as a series of facts on the ground that help to fight corruption and eradicate organized crime, an effort that Albania is going through and that other countries have gone through, including my country, and an effort that we have to earn it and therefore it is important to see the success of SPAK.

So these are some of the issues we discussed. I really appreciated all the time given to me by the officials I met with. I look forward to coming back," he said.

Kasanof stated that SPAK is facing a difficult challenge, so the support for this institution must be continuous.

"It is important for the United States to continue the support we are giving to the government and independent institutions such as SPAK, but also others, to move forward with the work to reform the justice sector and improve the rule of law. It is a difficult challenge. And it is a difficult challenge for any country. And it is a challenge that needs our continued support. So it's unfinished business. Of course, this is also pointed out by some of the reforms that the EU has underlined that should be carried out here. The United States is trying to help wherever we can, both the government and its reform packages, but also independent institutions to remain independent and take appropriate measures to root out corruption and organized crime, which, as I mentioned earlier, they are an extremely important result that we want to see realized in Albania", emphasized the senior American official./ CNA
