Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha has shown the most difficult moments in politics. The former prime minister singled out 1998 and efforts to oust the DP from the PPE.
"In 1997-1998 there was no one to believe that Sali Berisha should stay in politics. Not only the left that sent a delegation with George Papandreou, came to say that you should leave politics. Shusel apologized to me afterwards. Initiatives were taken to expel the DP from the PPE because of Sali Berisha. Dan Everts and all held hostile attitudes towards me. Whereas I stood by my conviction that the DP should exist as a real opposition and we moved towards victory.
There have been no more difficult circumstances than those. This great shock of Edi Rama is that he is convinced that he will lose this election. "I have defined clear rules in the statute of what happens to the mayor if he loses the elections", said Berisha in the studio of "The Unexposed".
