The British Embassy in Albania informs the media that the UK does not target any political party or group. This is a balanced approach. It concerns individuals and their links to crime and corruption. These decisions are made independently, in the interests of the UK's national interests.
The Embassy's reaction "This week we took restrictive measures against several high-profile Albanian individuals who are documented to be involved in criminal activity and corruption.
It is the policy of the Home Office not to comment on an individual's immigration status, so we cannot disclose names.
The UK is not targeting any political party or group. This is a balanced approach. It is about individuals and their relationships with crime and corruption.
"These decisions are made independently, in the national interest of Great Britain. But of course, we discuss them with a whole range of our close partners, including the United States."
