The Democratic Party candidate for the Dibra region, Basir Çollaku, through a post on Facebook, accused his socialist rivals yesterday of distributing flour in exchange for votes for the local elections on May 11.
According to Çollaku, a yellow van, in which he claims there were employees of the Ulëz administrative unit, has stopped door to door in the village of Bushkash, which is why he has filed a complaint at the police station.
“The flour van?!?! Or… Today at around 5:30 pm a “Mercedes Benz” van, a yellow sprinter, according to reports from the field, entered the Bushkashi area “inspecting” apartments with decorations. At the wheel of the vehicle was an exponent of the PS of Mat. The van was accompanied by an SUV in which there were employees of the Ulëz administrative unit. I myself followed it into the field where I photographed it. As we will do in any case when we receive information. The Sprinter has two owners, the user from Durrës and from Mat. We will forward the names to the Police of the Mat Commissariat of the Dibër Local Police Directorate, which we have informed, waiting for the necessary procedural verifications. The police can check the cell phones of the people in the vehicle and ascertain the route of the suspected vehicle,” Çollaku wrote on Facebook.
The Mati Police announce that they have carried out verifications at the direction of the Dibër Prosecutor’s Office and have accompanied the driver of the van that Çollaku reported, but they have not found any illegal items or actions.
“On 08.04.2025, citizen B.Ç., 56 years old, resident of Tirana, candidate for deputy in the Albanian Parliament, presented himself and filed a report after suspecting that in the village of Bushkash, Mat, some unknown persons were distributing various products with a vehicle (van), with the aim of favoring political entities. Immediately after the administration of the report, the services of the Mat Police Commissariat, have accompanied the driver of the vehicle, citizen F.L., together with his van, where from the inspection and investigative actions no illegal items or actions were found”, the police explain.
