Air Force Press Release

: Published: Tuesday, 01 December 2020 13:40

Recently, the Air Force of the Republic of Albania faces an unfounded attack by the representatives of a political entity, if they are accused of abusing the mission and the vehicles of the Air Force.

Among the information used in support of these accusations, representatives of this entity have made public a list of flights in a region of the Republic of Albania, although the release of such information, many of which is classified due to security breaches of the Armed Forces, constitutes a criminal offense punishable by law.

In this case, in view of its legal obligation for transparency and to inform the citizens, who rightly deserve to know the truth about these accusations, we declare with full responsibility that the information conveyed in the Media by the political entity is incorrect, not only in terms of flight dates or in terms of destinations, but also in terms of reasons or in terms of persons who have travelled on board of the Air Force vehicles.

Press release of the Ministry of Defense Press Office

Today, we were shocked and outraged by the statement issued by Mrs. Albana Vokshi, who repeated without thinking some baseless allegations about the use of AAF helicopters to conduct an election campaign, filed by an individual, who after failing to be included in the lists of candidates for member of parliament of DP, since he was rejected with contempt by the membership of this party in the district of Dibra, whom we know very well, his character and deeds, now tries to gain points with the leadership of the DP by inventing delusive stories with helicopters.

Allegations like these, in fact, do not deserve reaction, as they are low staging and attempts to throw mud and spoil the good work that has been done in the AAF in recent years.
