Evidence chain
This table separates what a source proves from what it does not prove. It is designed to prevent government claims, NGO claims, media headlines and allegations from being mixed together.

What is true, what is claimed, and what remains unanswered
Confirmed legal facts
- The article must be read as a source-backed public-interest record, not as a court judgment.
- No Save Albania article should call an action illegal unless a court, prosecutor, legal filing or strong legal analysis supports that word.
Official government claims
- Government statements are treated as claims to be checked against permits, laws, maps and inspection records.
NGO/environmental claims
- NGO and environmental statements are treated as expert or civil-society claims and checked against official documents and field evidence.
Media reports
- Media reports are used as leads and attribution, not as a substitute for original documents.
Allegations
- Corruption, abuse of office, property fraud and hidden-beneficiary claims remain allegations unless confirmed by prosecutor, court or official registry evidence.
Contradictions and unanswered questions
- Which exact permit, map, parcel, EIA and public-consultation record authorises the relevant activity?
