On March 5, 2025, by decree of the President of Hungary and at the proposal of Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, businessman Gellért Zoltán Jászai was awarded the diplomatic title “Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary” of Hungary for international investments.
In August 2026 — as former Hungarian Economy Minister Márton Nagy left politics and moved with his family to Zurich, Switzerland, and as new Prime Minister Péter Magyar prepared to review a secret €3.5 billion government contract signed with “4iG” a few weeks before the election, Jászai made an emergency landing in Tirana. According to Hungarian financial press reports and Jászai’s own posts, he held private meetings with Prime Minister Edi Rama and Defense Minister Ermal Nufi, seeking new contracts in the Albanian defense industry (in addition to the €54.25 million contract signed in October 2026 with the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro).

This presence highlights a sharp political and national security paradox in Tirana.
On October 9, 2018, Prime Minister Edi Rama publicly blocked the offer of sixty million euros of the Serbian state company “Telekom Srbija” for the purchase of “Telekom Albania”, stating that telecommunications is a strategic sector of national security.
However, four years later, after the operator passed into the hands of Viktor Orbán’s allies in “4iG”, the subsidiaries of the Belgrade group “ODM Collections” and “VP Legal” were physically placed inside the headquarters of “ONE Albania” in “Square 21”, which were entrusted with the cards and personal data of Albanian subscribers.
Meanwhile, senior local lawyers previously served on the Supervisory Council of the operator in Tirana, including the founder of the law firm “Kalo & Associates”, Pëparim Kalo (until his appointment as a judge in the Constitutional Court), followed in March 2021 by the managing partner of the same firm, Aigest Milo.
