Yuri Kim and Ilir Meta

The US ambassador in Tirana, Yuri Kim, today asked the three main political forces in the country to avoid candidates with problems in their lists, as a sign of the distance they should keep from the links between politics and crime.

She visited the Socialist Party, the Democratic Party and the Freedom Party. And as if to illustrate the seriousness that the USA has in distancing itself from problematic politicians, it naturally refused to meet anyone from the group of what is called "Berisha's Group" in the opposition, because they have the president with problems, not the candidates.

Berisha's isolation from the international factor is now a fait accompli. But more painful than his isolation, is the fact that his partner Ilir Meta is still not isolated and they meet him instead of Berisha.

Practically, Ilir Meta is an official supporter of Berisha's candidates, but this did not prevent the ambassador from meeting him. This means that the USA does not have a problem with others, except for Berisha, it does not have a problem with those who are running or his partners. The USA has a specific problem with Sali Berisha.

Now, if Ilir Meta was really as he claims, loyal in principle to Berisha, there was no reason for him to wait for Mrs. Kim at the headquarters, because after all he is Berisha's legal cover in these elections.

He opposed the declaration of Berisha "non grata" and should reject the selection of the ambassador within the family. 

But apparently he could not hide the temptation to have one more privilege in relation to Berisha within the coalition with him. And this privilege is the fact that he is still a man who can save Berisha's DP, if he joins him, since he is acceptable by the internationals.

I don't know how happy or upset Berisha is, but it is clear that Ilir Meta is a hypocrite at one of the two tables, either at the table with Mrs. Kim, or at the table with Mr. Berisha.

In fact, we all know that he is a hypocrite with Mrs. Kim, but she is not upset, that he did not come to take her allegiance, but to show her the US position. The problem is that Berisha is paranoid about "besepretre".
