VLEN calls out Bilen Saliji: why couldn't the bar exam be taken in Albanian during his term?

VLEN levelled sharp criticism at former justice minister Bilen Saliji of DUI, accusing him of not taking a single step during his term to allow the bar exam to be taken in Albanian as well. A question that's dragged on for years, and that no minister has solved so far.

"Bilen Saliji should answer why, while he was justice minister, the bar exam wasn't taken in Albanian," VLEN said. The coalition recalled that the Justice Ministry was run for years by figures close to DUI - among them Bedzeti, Jashari and Dzaferi - yet no institutional solution to this problem ever came.

VLEN also returns to Saliji's resignation, submitted after the case of the child Almir, which was presented at the time as a moral act. The coalition now claims that even after that resignation he kept holding public office, despite having no concrete results behind him.

Behind the political settling of scores sits a real problem that touches ordinary people - future lawyers who have waited years for the chance to sit the exam in their mother tongue. The question is whether VLEN, now that it's criticising, will fix what its predecessors kept postponing, or whether this criticism too will remain just one more statement in a line of promises that change only the name, not the result.
