President Meidani decrees a change at the head of the National Intelligence Service Since yesterday the National Intelligence Service has been led by a new figure. This was announced by the news agency “Kombëtare” of ATSH. According to it, Mr. Fatos Klosi, after resigning from the post of deputy minister of Public Order, has been decreed the new head of the National Intelligence Service. Previously he was deputy interior minister in the Meksi government, and he was Minister of Defense in the Stability government. The appointment of Mr. Klosi at the head of SHIK comes at a time when there is an increased demand for information from this structure. Recently, SHIK has taken action regarding the activity of terrorist groups. It also drew attention in the case of the bomb placement and the discovery of its perpetrators. This is a period when the country expects to achieve its own stability after the unrest of the first six months of this year. Here lies the origin of all efforts for your moral engagement for everyone.

The chief also carried out a formal cleanup, through the drafting of competitions for a service with a state spirit. The information carried out for investigating the criminal events of the unrest period also includes work to uncover the armed persons in Kamëz. Among other things, there were explanations about the kidnapping of Albanian fishermen and the arrest of two Greek citizens. I extend my congratulations and my obligation to ask every citizen[?] to continue in this direction and help strengthen trust in national understanding, in order to realize the expression of freedoms.
