The Committee on Human Rights and Public Information held a hearing with the Governing Council of Albanian Radio and Television (RTSH) as part of its review of the draft 2027 budget. Committee Deputy Chair Iris Luarasi highlighted RTSH’s special responsibility as the only broadcaster required to serve all Albanian citizens, both at home and abroad.

She pointed to positive assessments in this year’s European Commission progress report. Unlike previous reports, which focused mainly on problems, this year’s report also recognises the institution’s efforts and positive results. Luarasi praised the approach of the broadcaster’s new leadership, including the administrative management led by Eni Vasili and the role of the Governing Council.

Another positive development, she said, was RTSH’s inclusion in the Joint Industry Committee for Audience Measurement. The public broadcaster became a member in September 2025, marking an important step for the institution and audience measurement in the country.
