OSCE/ODIHR report on elections, Berisha: SP puts pressure on international

Sali Berisha, in a press conference this Monday, made strong accusations against the government for exerting pressure on international observers regarding the OSCE/ODIHR report on the May 11 elections.

"The electoral farce of May 11, 2025 is the ugliest electoral process in 32 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain. It is the most discredited process. It is the most corrupt process. Here we have consistently presented hundreds of irrefutable facts and documents of the use of over 1 billion and 20 million euros of budget money for the purpose of buying and influencing votes.

The organization of over 4,500 activities, more than three other years combined, in the last 4 months before the elections, prohibited by law.

Half a billion in procurements prohibited by law before the elections.

Arming patronizing electoral terrorists with citizens' data to flatter and threaten them.

The signing of licenses for planting cannabis in quantities 140 times larger than what the law provides.

We have presented before you the extreme manipulation of the diaspora vote.

But you are witnesses that here, from this hall, from the European Parliament and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, I have denounced with the greatest force the threats and pressures of Edi Rama and Minister Igli Hasani against international observers with the aim of getting them to change the report.

As I've informed you, the laptop is showing great transparency.

Here before you today I have brought the threatening letter that the foreign minister of the narcostate, Igli Hasani, addressed on May 12, as soon as the report was read, to Ms. Farah Karimi, special coordinator and leader of the OSCE short-term mission.

Ambassador Lamberto Zannier, Head of the ODIHR observer mission.

Mr. Bjorn Soder, head of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly delegation.

Mr. Simone Billi, head of the delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

And Mr. Michael Gahler, head of the European Parliament delegation," Berisha said. (A2 Televizion)
