The agreement between Albania and Italy cannot be implemented without the approval of the President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj.
This is what Sali Berisha declared, adding that the same was done before for such agreements.
"It is a really serious issue. It is absolutely a bluff of Edi Rama. I recommend you to read the law of agreements, the chapter on the power of attorney and the decision of the Constitutional Court. After the collapse of the sea agreement with Greece, which I still defend today, and which was collapsed mainly because the full power of the president of the Republic was not taken and the law absolutely did not require this, but with self-understanding, I say it was right . I cannot say that the president could be excluded in these agreements. They are agreements related to territory and sovereignty. The government is representative, but the president is supreme. What is sovereignty, territory, state. The president is the highest in the state. What was decided then? It was decided by Edi Rama himself that in such cases, when we are dealing with territoriality, the negotiation delegation is set up by the President of the Republic. The delegation is empowered by the president. The previous law did not have it. The previous law had both, it authorizes the president, it authorizes the prime minister. No. The President of the Republic, the signing of the document, the power of attorney for signing the document, is either signed by the president himself, or he gives the power of attorney to the Prime Minister or the Minister of Foreign Affairs, equally. Edi Rama has violated the law with both feet, but also the spirit of the constitution. This law, drafted on the basis of the decision of the Constitutional Court, is right. Edi Rama has completely avoided the President of the Republic and can never avoid him. This issue is primarily worthless, except in the form that I say", said Berisha. (A2 Televizion)
