From the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasb...

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, announced today the name of a Socialist Party MP who is employed by the Troplini cartel company. Berisha said that he is talking about MP Arkend Balla.
In his speech during a conference with journalists, Berisha emphasized that the electoral farce of May 11 had, as one of its most cardinal features, the determining role of drug cartels and criminal organizations.
"The electoral farce of May 11, 2025, had as one of its most cardinal features the defining role of drug cartels and criminal organizations.
The representative of the Troplini cartel, the largest cocaine cartel in Europe, has become well-known and famous, after moving from other countries and this cartel's takeover of the port of Durres.
The representative of this cartel and Edi Rama, Arkend Balla, projected as Minister of Interior, the man who received 5,200 more votes than Edi Rama in the Durrës district, is tied soul and pocket to this cartel.
From reading his documents, Arkend Balla, who after the departure of a SP MP, entered parliament, has declared himself employed only at the University of Durrës. However, if you look carefully at his asset declaration, it turns out that from June 1, 2021 to August 5, 2023, the famous Arkend Balla was employed at the Nisatel company.
Nisatel company, one of the founding partners has Sidrit Danaj, who today owns 100 percent of the shares. This is a company that provides internet, telecommunications, and television services. For the period 2015-2025, this company has benefited from state institutions 900 thousand euros in payments.
Nisatel is a company whose primary address is in Vlora, and after research, it was found that Arkend Balla was selected by this company to be employed by it. So, Arkend, with 5200 more votes than Edi Rama in these elections compared to 2021, was an employee of Nisatel.
Since May 2018, Nisatel's sole partner has been citizen Sadrit Danaj, a character repeatedly denounced by the DP for committing criminal offenses at the time he was appointed district mayor in Vlora by Edi Rama.
Sadriti is the brother of Nexhmedin and Vexhi Danaj. Nexhmedin Danaj, after a 5-year investigation by the Italian Antimafia, has been accused of international drug trafficking in collaboration with citizen Elvis Doçi or Visi i Pojës. So, the Danajs are a main part of the Troplini cartel", said Berisha./CNA
