In a press conference after meeting with Albania’s political leaders, Steinberg underlined the need for politicians to respect the constitution and rule of law, as prosecutors lead an investigation into the January 21 events."Your constitution provides for an independent investigative process through the Prosecutor General and we think it is very important that the independence of that investigation be protected," Steinberg said.
“I appreciate the commitment that the Prosecutor General made to making sure that the investigation is comprehensive and as independent as possible," he added.
