Yuri Kim and Ilir Meta

With the decision of the Court of Appeal, which left the stamp on Enkelejd Alibeaja, Sali Berisha cannot register on behalf of the Democratic Party in the May 14 municipal elections.

As a solution, he and his supporters have suggested entering into a coalition with the opposition parties. Registration of coalitions has a deadline until March 15. The law in force allows two or more parties to enter into a coalition, where its leading party is determined.

Referring to March 6, when Berisha entered the elections under the logo of the 'House of Freedom' coalition, but that this participation was legally enabled at that time by the Socialist Movement for Integration, it is assumed that this may also happen on May 14.

However, Yuri Kim's surprise visit this Wednesday to the headquarters of the Freedom Party and the meeting with Meta may bring surprises. Ilir Meta said publicly that with the Ambassador he discussed high level corruption, drug trafficking, money laundering and misuse of the administration for elections.

This is one side of the coin of discussions, that of Ilir Meta. On the other hand, at least publicly, it is not known how long the Ambassador has not come out with a statement. Not publicly, sources of Vox News.al claim that the main message that Yuri Kim conveyed to Ilir Meta is the repetition of the request to distance himself from Sali Berisha.

But in what form can this distance arrive before the May 14 elections, except by not accepting to register Berisha and his candidates in these elections? The message has not been conveyed so courteously.

The sources say that the Ambassador has warned Ilir Meta that if he ignores this request of the Americans, then he also risks being included in the list of persons non grata, just like Sali Berisha.

Kim has reminded the head of the Freedom Party of Washington's constant positions that it refuses cooperation and communication with persons declared undesirable and limits cooperation with those who support these persons.

In addition, for Ilir Meta, there are rumors that he has the file ready at the State Department, and there were even those who guessed that the file and the decision would be made public as soon as he leaves the Presidency. But, if it hasn't happened so far, could it happen if Ilir Meta defies the request of the Americans and becomes Berisha's butler for participating in the May 14 elections? You have to wait for this...
