The state machinery, public order were not able to fulfill their priority task, to protect the basic rights of the citizens, who were left, be it for a while, at the mercy of a group of criminals. Crime becomes particularly dangerous when the specialized organs of public order and the judiciary, not excluding local power, fail to counteract with the efficiency and rapidity required, always abiding to the law. The reiterated criminal doings and, in particular the troubles in Shkoder give evidence more than ever to the most acute problem of the urgent need of restoring public order, which is the priority for reaching stability. However, reaching stability ia a complex task, which cannot and should not be left in the exclusive competence of the State. Under the present circumstances it should be achieved only through a serious and devoted engagement of all state structures and social factors as well, united in a unique front with the objective to defeat criminality.
Crime is colourless, it is equally dangerous for all.
The scale it is reaching is threatening the very existence of the society. The AHC considers this moment highly delicate. The State is expected to act more energetically by making use of all means provided by law. The Albanian political class as a whole, be it in power or in opposition, faces a formidable challenge, that of its responsibility and capacity to deal with the problems of the country and of the nation. Nothing can justify anymore the excluding confrontation and the cutting off of the bridges of real communication.
