"Albania in 2030 in the EU, an ambitious and realistic plan." The statement of the head of diplomacy of the European Union, made from Tirana, during the conference with the head of government, opposition leader Sali Berisha reads not as a support for Edi Rama's positions that promise the country's integration into the Union, but as a road with obstacles that Albania has ahead, writes A2 CNN.
"She did not invest a single nanogram in Edi Rama's pledges. She also told him the other one, which is a comprehensive path. Meanwhile, Edi Rama tried to associate his deception with the presence of the EU's high representative for foreign policy, Ms. Kallas. But she held her ground and her position. In a word, she told the Albanians, I have nothing to do with what he says," Berisha said at a press conference.
The lack of a meeting between him and the delegation from the European Union, Sali Berisha, justified the fact that the visit was regional and not just for Albania. "Ms. Kallas is on a regional trip. I think you heard her say that she will go from here to Bosnia. Regional trips are for regional purposes and it is normal that she meets the government officials, whoever the government official is, they will meet. This is the rule of regional trips, they do not have a national purpose", Berisha added.
This visit by the EU's chief diplomat also coincides with Berisha's return from Strasbourg, where he met with various officials of the European Parliament. The opposition leader claimed that in the high-level meetings he held, he had become the voice of Albanians, and announced that his denunciations had led to the cancellation of a dinner hosted by Edi Rama with EU officials.
"It was a very special pleasure, after the almost international scandal of Edi Rama, which had forced, in an unprecedented act with a European leader, the leaders of this institution to cancel the official dinner planned for the Prime Minister of Albania, as he was not worthy of this dinner. He was not worthy, they canceled his dinner," said Berisha.
Berisha was also asked about the meeting to launch the electoral campaign for the May 11 elections, where he confirmed that American strategist Chris Lacivita will be at his side. (A2 Televizion)
