“Some brave men came to the Prime Minister's Office…”/

The National Bureau of Investigation has reacted after the statements of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

"On November 20, 2025, three investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation (BKH) appeared at the premises of the Council of Ministers for the execution of the decision of the Special Court of First Instance, no. 118, dated 19.11.2025, through which the measure of suspension from office was imposed on the Deputy Prime Minister, Ms. Belinda Balluku.

At the internal entrance of the Council of Ministers, the investigators were informed by the Guard of the Republic that according to the regulations in force, entry with firearms into the internal premises of the institution is not allowed. One of the investigators requested clarification on the manner and place of storage of weapons. The Guard of the Republic directed them to leave the weapons in the special security lockers at the entrance of the institution.

After verifying that the storage environment was secure and monitored by cameras, the investigators deposited the weapons and continued with the procedural actions as normal.

We emphasize that at no point was there a debate or clash between BKH investigators and the Republican Guard.

The right of BKH investigators to carry firearms is based on Law No. 25/2019 "On the Organization and Functioning of the Judicial Police", where Article 31, point 3, expressly provides that Judicial Police officers, including those of the National Bureau of Investigation, are equipped with firearms in accordance with the legislation in force for their use" , the reaction states.
