The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, in his speech at the European People's Party conference held in Sarajevo, described Albania as a country in the "emergency room".

While speaking about a deep political and institutional crisis, Berisha stated that the fundamental problem remains the lack of free and fair elections.

The DP leader warned that the situation could deteriorate into serious clashes if a peaceful solution is not found, emphasizing that 'the movement is unstoppable' and that it does not represent just a political force, but a broader civic reaction.

"Albania is in the emergency room. It is truly in an 'emergency room.' It is facing protests that have never been seen before. And the way the prime minister is handling them is very cynical, even more than cynical."

My country needs a peaceful and civil solution, avoiding a possible clash that could set the country back many years or in a serious regression. The movement is unstoppable. I tell you this: it is not just a movement of my party, but it is unstoppable.

It is of fundamental importance that this be taken seriously and a peaceful solution be found, with a caretaker government leading the country towards free and fair elections. These are their main demands, including the resignation of the Prime Minister.

"But the most important thing is to resolve this crisis in a civilized and peaceful manner, avoiding any clashes that may occur if the government continues to behave in this way, ignoring them or treating them as invalid, etc.," Berisha said, among other things.
