The Minister of Interior, Bledi Çuçi, during his visit to Great Britain had a meeting with his counterpart, Priti Patel, who was also a few months ago also on an official visit to Tirana. Çuçi said that thanks to mutual trust and commitment, Albania and the United Kingdom have the capacity to set up joint investigative and operational teams.
“The fight against organized crime cannot be done separately, so we must coordinate our efforts and resources at all times,” said Minister Çuçi.
Another topic of discussion was illegal immigration, for which Minister Çuçi says that this problem cannot be addressed without improving the conditions of legal immigration.
“We also discussed illegal immigration, which can never be addressed as a problem without improving the conditions of legal immigration. At this point, I asked my British counterpart to review once again the treatment regime of Albanian citizens living and working in the UK, in order to facilitate them in relation to new employment opportunities or seasonal movements. At this point, I found her full understanding, also expressing my commitment to do everything necessary for their integration “, said further Minister Çuçi.
The Home Secretary also praised British support for reforming the Scientific Police Institute.
“The British assistance to our Scientific Police Institute is a very valuable asset. With the reform of this institution and the adaptation of modern technology and methods, we will fulfill one of the most critical links in the chain of investigation and documentation of criminal events in the country “, said Çuçi. /abcnews.al
