The Vlen party has accused DUI of having had, during its time leading the Ministry of Justice, the time, resources and mandate to resolve the question of the bar exam in Albanian - and of doing nothing. The question is not new. Albanian students have been on the streets since April 2026 demanding that the bar exam be made available in their mother tongue.

"The ministerial chairs kept changing among DUI cadres, but the needs of Albanian students remained unmet," Vlen said in a statement. "For their own circle, the system worked just fine." Specifically: while Adnan Jaferi was minister of justice, Talat Jaferi's son passed the bar exam - and at the time did not even have a degree. For Albanian students - "we'll see". For the DUI inner circle - the system worked immediately.

It is a story familiar in one part of the country and quiet in the other. Blerim Bexheti was minister of justice for more than 1,000 days. Adnan Jaferi succeeded him. Two cadres, one party, the same unwillingness to address the students' demand. Now Vlen, through Jaferi, is hanging the moral case on DUI that the responses were only for inside, not for outside.

Vlen says it will resolve the matter comprehensively. "The bar exam in Albanian is only the start. All professional exams will be available in Albanian," the statement said. That is an important announcement - not only for the students, but also for the political architecture of DUI, which has held the position of "sole spokesperson for the Albanian voice" for decades. When Vlen delivers things DUI promised but never delivered, the next electoral cycle gains new momentum. The question is whether this actually materialises, or stays just another statement by a party that wants to grab a competitor's themes, without actually delivering.
