TIRANA, April 21 – A British group will lead the EU Police Mission to Albania (PAMECA), in partnership with the Albanian government, in a move which the British considers a boost in its fight against organized crime and illegal migration.
The mission regularly works with the Albanian police to deal with the threat from organized crime in Albania, reducing the threat to the UK and other EU member states, and helping to improve Albanians’ confidence in their police service. British authorities believe crime networks based in Albania pose a direct criminal threat to the UK, in particular organized criminal activity such as vice and human trafficking.
