The arrest of Albania’s state intelligence chief points to systemic failings in the process of her appointment and raises additional questions about the institutional response, according to security expert Arjan Dyrmishi, head of the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Governance in Tirana.
Vlora Hyseni, director of the State Intelligence Service, SHISH, was arrested on September 22 on suspicion of divulging classified information to businessman Ergys Agasi, himself arrested in late August on suspicion of involvement in rigged public tenders issued by Albania’s National Agency for Information Society, AKSHI, which, among other things, runs the state public services portal, e-Albania.

Europeans will look back this winter with deep shame for failing to deliver Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine when it mattered most.
Stop delaying the inevitable. Do it now!

PUTIN STILL WANTS UKRAINE KEPT OUT OF MILITARY BLOCS 🇷🇺🇺🇦
Vladimir Putin says Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 neutral status remains one of Russia’s 🇷🇺 objectives, arguing that Kyiv’s own declaration at independence described Ukraine as a neutral state.
“Ukraine’s neutral status is still among Russia’s goals. Because, gaining independence, Ukraine adopted a declaration. I want to remind you of that.
After all, it gained independence on the basis of this declaration. The declaration says that it is a neutral state.”
Putin is again framing Ukrainian neutrality as something rooted in the country’s founding documents, and therefore as a legitimate Russian demand.
The core dispute remains the same: Moscow says Ukraine should be neutral, while Ukraine insists that its future security arrangements are for Ukrainians to decide.
