Overview

• Diella delivered a three-minute video address asserting it is not meant to replace people and emphasizing accountability and transparency.
• The session was cut short after protests from opposition lawmakers, and the Cabinet program passed with 82 votes in the 140-seat chamber following their boycott.
• Prime Minister Edi Rama says Diella will decide public tenders to make procurement fully transparent and free of corruption as part of broader reforms.
• Opposition figures, including former prime minister Sali Berisha, call the appointment unconstitutional and say they will take the case to the Constitutional Court.
• Originally launched in January on the e‑Albania platform and developed in partnership with Microsoft, Diella’s debut raised questions over the speech’s authorship and the system’s legal authority, oversight and auditing mechanisms.
