11/10/2013

The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama,  started his first speech with the Police leaders by underlining to severe cases that took place in the recent day, the kidnapping of a minor in Fier and the finding of dozens of robbed icons from our common heritage, to emhpasize the situation of order and security in Albania.

“We have inherited an alarming unbraiding of the State Police, since the cursed year 1997”, Rama declared.

“This situation came after the Police Leadership became hostage of the clientelist interests”, Rama added, declaring that it is a historic mission to return public safety in the life of every Albanian, in their property and in our common property.

“Our battle is to back off the crime as never before. This means that the Stte police will take the responsibility to defend every square meters of the Albanian Republic”, Rama declared.

“This commitment is the cause of the deep reforms undertaken by the police”, Rama added.

“The reform that has just started and that has only finished the first phase, will affect the entire chain of responsibilities and will turn the quality of human resources to the service of the Albanian people, under their blue uniform. This first phase of the reform has taken the first step to approach the state police with the citizens”, Rama declared.

“The transformation of the State Police aims to create a partnership with the citizen”, Rama added.

“Merging the Traffic Police with the Public Order police, with the citizens taking police service from a unified office, will increase the quality and effectiveness of our work”, the Prime Minister stated.

Rama warned legal reforms at the Interior Service Control to clean the police ranks from crime and corruption. The Government leader emphasized two messages for the new leaders of the State Police.

“Mothers, women and children of this country deserve protection”, Rama declared.

Rama concluded his speech with what he considered the most important part of it, which should be implemented first by the new leaders.

“Look your subordinates in the eye and chose the best of them. Don’t look on the right or on the left. You are the servants of the Albanian people and of no one else. I wish you success. From us you will receive only support”, Rama declared.
