study by the Leadership for Integrity and Progress in the Countries of South-Eastern Europe (SELDI) \u201cRegarding the risks for state capture and the reforms of the politics of Western Balkans 2020\u201d shows that Albania is currently in the first place in the region, when it comes to the rising pressure of state capture by businesses,\u201d \u2013 wrote Meta.<\/p>\n<p>When referring to this study, Meta raised his concerns on the high predisposition of businesses and institutions in Albania to use public functionaries starting from their services and all the way to drafting laws in favor of the personal interests of specific groups.<\/p>\n<p>President Meta said that the study has reached negative conclusions and this is confirmation for his public stances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe phenomenon of \u2018legislative corruption\u2019 has turned into the new mode for hiding the clientelist benefits and public resources, where for every awarded benefit, the one-party Parliament approves a pre-ordered law that legitimizes it,\u201d \u2013 wrote Meta on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Meta calls for more public engagement, in order to put an end to state capture and the lack of prosecution and sentencing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"vc_row_inner tdi_170_079 zmadhim-teksti vc_row vc_inner wpb_row td-pb-row\">\n<div class=\"vc_column_inner tdi_178_704  wpb_column vc_column_container
