The Meeting of Judges of the Constitutional Court has decided to reinstate Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, who was indicted by SPAK, while the GJKKO imposed a more severe measure against her.

Journalist Klodiana Lala said that on January 22, 2026, a representative of SPAK, GJKKO, the Prime Minister's Office, the Presidency and the Assembly through lawyers will have to face each other in a public session on January 22, 2026, where they will give their opinions for and against, and the Constitutional Court will interpret Article 103 of the Constitution and will answer the question of whether a member of the government cabinet should be suspended from office while being investigated by SPAK, this is the essence between the government and the judiciary. Rama goes further by saying that GJKKO has violated the competences of the President and the Assembly.

Meanwhile, Lala said that the decision does not affect SPAK's investigations, a move that the Special Prosecution Office could make.

"This decision does not affect SPAK's investigations, it continues the investigations against Balluk, regarding the investigations and suspicions, for the Llogara tunnel tender and for the favoritism in the tender, she is officially a defendant," said Lala.
