NATO increases surveillance for Albania

TIRANA, Aug 9נNATO has restricted Albania’s access to classified information about nuclear issues. In the last parliamentary session, an initiative was approved, by ratifying the “Protocol amending the annex security agreement between the parties to the North Atlantic Treaty on cooperation for nuclear information.”
The amendments of this protocol provide more supervision for Albania and the methods with which it preserves its documentation.
As part of the agreement, rules about receiving classified information were also changed. According to experts of the Ministry of Defense and the Department of Security of Classified Information, all data and confidential information on atomic matters must first be filtered by the headquarters of NATO.
Moreover, the inspection of NATO in Albania, which would be conducted once a year, as was previously determined, can take place at any time of the year, writes the daily newspaper “Shqip”.
