Belinda Balluku's eyes are now on the Constitutional Court. It is precisely on this institution that the former Deputy Prime Minister and former Minister of Infrastructure and Energy has "pinned" her hopes to overturn the charges against her, which are related to the pre-scheduling of 11 road tender procedures, worth millions of euros.
The plenary sessions on the basis of documents for the cases with applicants Evis Berberi and Redi Molla, scheduled to be held on 05.03.2026, were not held due to the incomplete formation of the trial panel, as one of its members was on an official trip abroad.
One of the issues the Constitutional Court is considering is directly related to the Balluku file and ultimately determines its fate.
This is a request from Evis Berberi, the former head of the Albanian Road Authority, whose cell phones were dismantled to provide evidence for sensational cases such as the Balluku case or the criminal case against the mayor of Shkodra, Benet Beci. Berberi's wife is also accused in the latter.
The former head of the ARRSH, one of Belinda Balluku's most trusted people, has addressed the Constitutional Court with a request to annul, as incompatible with the Constitution, the decision of the Supreme Court that left in force the security measure "prison arrest" for him. Within the same case, Evis Berberi also requests that the communications discovered on his mobile phones be declared illegal.
This is precisely where Balluku shows interest, because the communications with Berber, where there is talk of pre-scheduling road tenders, are also SPAK's main evidence.
The Constitutional Court held a document-based hearing on March 5th, where it reviewed Berber's request.
But while the decision was awaited, the Court of Appeal announced that the case had been postponed due to the incomplete formation of the trial panel, as one of its members was on an official trip abroad.
The Constitutional Court announced that the plenary session based on documents will take place on 26.03.2026, at 12:00. It is not yet known exactly when a decision will be made on this issue, but it should be noted that this decision directly affects the Balluku file.
The former deputy prime minister is accused of having pre-determined 11 tender procedures together with Berber and other subordinates. Two security measures are in force against her: suspension from exercising her functions and a ban on leaving the country. Meanwhile, the majority rejected SPAK's request for permission to arrest her with 82 votes.
