The still unpublished EP report, which knocks everyone down

There are reports that go unnoticed. And there are reports that, without yet being officially made public, give the impression that they are more honest than reality itself. Such is the document that the European Parliament is expected to approve on Albania, and which I have read carefully line by line.
This is no longer a standard annual report on progress on the path of integration. It is a document that speaks to Albania without excessive diplomacy, without formal trappings, without mechanical praise. And for this reason, it is perhaps the most important report that has been written about our country in the last 10 years.
For the first time, Brussels is no longer trying to maintain a balance between criticism and support. It divides Albania into two very clear parts: a country with an unassailable political stance towards the West, but with an internal structure rotten with institutional fragility and a real lack of accountability.
The report mentions SPAK by name. It recognizes it as one of the most important developments in the direction of justice, but it demands more. Much more. No more sensational cases. But final sentences for high-ranking officials. No more silence from politics. But clear protection for prosecutors and judges who are threatened. And no more covert interventions. But full respect for the independence of the structures that confront crime and corruption.
The report is equally clear about the media. There is no longer any illusion about press freedom in Albania. It uses words that were previously avoided: intimidation, concentration, lack of transparency, insecurity, sexist violence against journalists. And above all, a serious finding: Albania has a captive media market, where politics, business and propaganda have created an indestructible triangle.
The report also mentions the most dangerous phenomenon of the last decade: foreign influence that is carcinogenic.
Russia, China, propaganda platforms, dubious financing and coordinated campaigns to undermine public trust in institutions. Albania is a battlefield for these new wars. And its institutional defenses are still weak.
On a general level, the report sends a very clear signal to the Albanian government: The West no longer needs to be convinced of Albania's geopolitical loyalty. This is a closed issue. Now it needs results. And above all, coherence between what is said and what is done.
The report says enough with integration as a flag to mask absolute power. And enough with Europe as a card to justify itself internally. Albania has been tested. And it will not pass any more important chapter without providing real evidence.
Brussels does not say it openly, but it hints at it: funds, support and acceleration of the process will depend on a single condition and the demand is clear: is Albania ready to build a functioning state?
This report sees Albania as a country with potential and with visible progress in digitalization, infrastructure and regional inclusion. But none of this will be enough if a justice system that does not stop in the face of big names is not guaranteed. A media that does not fear in the face of power. An administration that is not controlled by party. And a citizen who feels that the state is there for him, not against him.
In this report I read something else! It is bluntly stated that Brussels' patience is running out. Not towards Albania as a country. But towards the political class that thinks that integration is a communication process, not a deep reform. And towards an irresponsible opposition.
This document will be published soon. And when it is published, there will be many who will try to relativize it, explain it, translate it according to interest. But the truth is this: Brussels is understanding better than ever that today's Albania is at a critical point. Either it will truly embrace the rule of law. Or it will continue to behave like a country that seeks Europe, but is afraid of the reform that Europe seeks.
And for this election, there will be no more soft reports. There will be consequences. And a clear division between those who want integration as rhetoric and those who want it as real change.
