Skënder Hita, the Director General of the Albanian State Police, has recognized several officers for their roles in high-profile criminal investigations and life-saving operations. During a meeting with officials in Fier, Hita promoted Mariglen Koroveshaj, the former head of the Roskovec Police Station, to the rank of Chief Commissioner. Koroveshaj was honored for his successful negotiation during a hostage situation involving 24-year-old Rozalinda Plaku, who was held by an ex-partner following the murder of her parents.

Additionally, Hita commended the professionalism of the Shqiponja Special Force and other officers involved in capturing the suspect responsible for the murder of a 20-year-old Portuguese national in Ksamil, as well as the individual involved in a fatal attack in Lushnjë.
