Press Release on the events in Albania Is this the way, in Albania, they put Safety first? Brussels, (MOREL)- If you ever wanted to know how a government can terrorize its citizens, have a look at Albania. After Albcontrol ignored the rights of the workers and the Union for one year, the Government is lashing out at the Air Traffic Controllers now. Last week, five Air Traffic Controllers declared their provisional inability, in line with the National Competency Program of Albania and the EU Regulation 2015/340. Those Air Traffic Controllers were immediately fired without any valid reason stated. Three of those Air Traffic Controllers were in Police custody for over 48 hours before seeing a judge. This judge decided today that the female controller will stay under house arrest and the male controllers will stay in prison with no time limit. They performed their duties according to an EU Regulation and it seems they are imprisoned for that. Is it a crime in Albania to follow EU Regulations?
