According to Prime Minister Rama, current legislation on false news is "relaxed", which will change with the anti-libel package, which rightly caused concern in the media industry and in public opinion.

At the "News Agencies vs. Fake News" conference, Rama said: "The board of this authority should react promptly after circulating and circulating false news in Albania. There was 'Fake News' that I made a deal with Putin. But the government is ready to present the anti-libel package, even though we had a relaxed legislation. The last five years have registered 20 thousand portals. About 700 are news portals. "

The prime minister cited the false news that the Albanian government would accept former ISIS fighters and the false news that he had made arrangements with the Russian president to sell a whole city to highlight the wickedness of this widespread phenomenon.

As well, Rama said that fines for false news and defamation will be implemented; copyright will be guaranteed and the defamers will be punished. Those who replicate are just as responsible as the one who was the first. "Establishing clear rules will be in the function of the situation and in improving the online world of online media, certainly without prejudice to the fundamental freedom of speech and public information."
