2025-03-08 11:41:00 / POLITIKË
The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha , in an interview with the Greek media outlet Liberal, spoke about his decision to run again as prime minister of the country.
The former Prime Minister stated that " behind every return there is force majeure ", emphasizing that he made this decision after being declared non grata by America.
"Not only was I dismissed, but I was asked not to enter parliament. At that time, my position was this: no one except Albanians can make the list of deputies, as long as Albania is a sovereign country," Berisha declared.
Berisha commented on Albanian-Greek relations, stating that in recent years there have been deteriorations entirely due to the positions, according to him, of Edi Rama's government.
The leading democrat, regarding the country's integration into the EU, stressed that Albania does not meet any criteria, except for its geostrategic position, but added that he supports the process.
Interview for Greek media:
" The corrupt Rama destroyed relations with Greece with the detention of Fredi Beleri, with false witnesses, after he had appropriated a canyon (of Gjipe) of many hectares and obeyed the oligarchs ," says Sali Berisha, the leader of the Albanian opposition, for Liberal. He explains why Albania does not meet the criteria for EU membership and talks about the possibilities of cooperation in the Balkans.
Mr. Berisha, what motivates you to be a candidate for these elections?
Sali Berisha : Stories of comebacks are exotic, they are not frequent. So, behind every comeback there is a major power. And in this case, Sali Berisha, 8 years after he had almost left the political scene, was asked not to enter parliament based on a corrupt act. Based on the 'non grata' designation of Antoni Blinken, in the act that came from a corrupt lobbying of Edi Rama and George Soros.
So, not only was I dismissed, but I was asked not to enter the parliament. At that time, my position was this: no one except Albanians can make the list of deputies, as long as Albania is a sovereign country. And, since my former president, who was working maliciously behind my back, was part of this position, I undertook the process of returning. A process that went through all the stages and that went successfully, despite the extraordinary efforts of the Albanian government and the State Department, diplomats who, the ambassador in Tirana and the envoy to the region, called on the Albanians not to support me, it happened.
So, as you can see, return is not an individual act, but it is a much broader act. Many people may want to return, but they cannot return.
E provoi Papandreu të rikthehet. Mbeti me 3%. Po jap shembull për të krahasuar se, jo cilido që do mund të rikthehet. Pra, rikthimi është një thirrje, dhe unë iu përgjigja kësaj thirrje të vendit tim.
Si e vlerësoni rrugëtimin europian të Shqipërisë. Pra, rrugëtimin për në BE. Cilat janë reformat që ju do të donit të implementonit?
Sali Berisha: Në mënyrë absolute Shqipëria nuk plotëson asnjë kriter, përveç pozicionit gjeostrategjik, për të cilin unë e mbështes procesin. Por kriteret… Një vend që arreston në vitin elektoral 3 liderë të opozitës, e partive kryesore, një vend që u merr mandate me gjykata kundërshtarëve politikë, se i kontrollon ato, një vend që kontrollon mediat në mënyrë të pamëshirë dhe shpall se do mbyllë rrjetet sociale, Tik Tok-un, një vend që ka të burgosur, ka një drejtësi politike dhe mungesë të një procesi ligjor të drejtë.
Nuk duhet të harroni se në Shqipëri sot, 62% e të burgosurve janë në paraburgim. Se i marrin i plasin njerëzit në paraburgim dhe nuk merret kush me ta. Ky vend, me një shkallë të lartë korrupsioni më të paimagjinueshëm. Me afera korruptive, të cilat shkojnë miliarda. Ky vend, i cili është një narkoshtet. Narkoshteti i parë dhe i vetëm në Europë, ku përfaqësuesit e Sinaloas priten në zyrën e Edi Ramës dhe marrin licensa për kazino dhe resorte me 5 yje.
Nuk ka asnjë lidhje me kriteret që kërkohen për anëtarësimin në BE.
Gjithçka tjetër jashtë gjeopolitikës, jashtë kriterit gjeostrategjik nuk qëndron.
Sa i përket marrëdhënieve shqiptaro-greke si i vlerësoni ato, dhe cilat janë bazat për t’i përmirësuar këto marrëdhënie?
Sali Berisha: Mendoj se, marrëdhëniet shqiptaro-greke kanë bërë progres të ndjeshëm. Por, këto vitet e fundit kanë patur edhe përkeqësime krejtësisht për shkak të qëndrimeve të qeverisë së Edi Ramës.
Po marrim Marrëveshjen e detit. Kishim rënë dakord me qeverinë e qendrës së djathtë dhe të qendrës së majtë të Greqisë, që të shkonim në Hagë. Edi Rama hoqi dorë nga kjo dakordësi dhe deklaroi se do bëjë një marrëveshje më të mirë. Negocioi 2-3 vjet, dhe kur erdhi problemi për të firmosur marrëveshjen, Edi Rama tha se nuk e firmos dot për arsye se ekziston vendimi i Gjykatës Kushtetuese.
Ishte një gjë jashtëzakonisht joserioze. Se ti, në qoftë se uleshe për negociata, duhet t’u thoje që kam këtë vendim, dhe unë jashtë këtij vendimi nuk dal dot. Por jo, të negociosh 3 vite dhe pastaj të thuash: na doli vendimi! Pra, ishte shumë jo serioz.
Së dyti. Akt i pashembullt ishte marrja e mandatit nëpërmjet dëshmitarëve të rremë të Fredi Belerit. Fredi Beleri, anëtar i minoritetit grek në Shqipëri fitoi mandatin, u votua nga qytetarët e Himarës. Sipas Kushtetutës së Shqipërisë, ai ka të drejtë në qoftë se votohet, të jetë dhe president i këtij vendi. Ky është është ligji.
Meanwhile, Edi Rama took the mandate, just because Beleri would not allow Rama to plunder the Gjipe canyon. When Beleri was arrested, I publicly declared that it was a political arrest and that Edi Rama's direct mafia interests were behind this arrest. I did not know that Edi Rama had acquired, without any cadastral document, without any document of confiscation from the communist regime, the Gjipe canyon, one of the most beautiful canyons of the Ionian and Mediterranean, for his mother and cousins. This came out later.
Of course, Fredi Beleri could never make such a compromise, to make Edi Rama happy with 224 thousand m2 of land in this area.
However, he managed to create the impression that Beleri is not a fair man. Beleri had done nothing wrong. Beleri was only guilty of declaring himself a member of the Greek minority and had to agree to do Edi Rama the mafia favors he was asking for.
So, these things end. They will not happen and they will not happen. Every citizen will be treated according to the constitution and the law. We may have other cases or examples.
So, it's a series of acts that, of course, didn't negatively impact relations.
The Treaty of Friendship, a fundamental document signed in 1996, was totally ignored and, in fact, is now expired, needs to be renegotiated, reconsidered. So, relations with Greece were damaged by Edi Rama's mafia interests.
What are the challenges and opportunities for cooperation among Balkan countries?
Sali Berisha : The opportunities are great. First, Albania must resolutely fight crime with zero tolerance.
Albania has destroyed the justice system. And in the absence of a justice system, in the absence of legal certainty, I don't know of any serious foreign or Greek investors who have come to Albania in these years. I know of dozens and hundreds who have left Albania.
So, the condition of all conditions for this cooperation is the creation of a friendly climate for business. There is no Greek company, or from other countries, that wins in Albania, because all the oligarchs of Edi Rama win. At a time when, before 2013, Greek, Italian, German, American companies built major projects and won them in international tenders. Absolutely, none favored by Sali Berisha, but to their credit in a transparent manner and have done excellent work.
They fled. Not only did they flee, but some of them were separated from this government through lawsuits because of government abuses.
