Unable to go to Great Britain, due to the declaration "non grata", former Prime Minister Sali Berisha held a virtual meeting with the Albanian emigrants who are there this afternoon.
During his speech, Berisha continued with harsh accusations against the British diplomatic corps in Tirana. He said that the British ambassador to Albania, Alastair King-Smthi, said that he and Yuri Kim were corrupted by Prime Minister Edi Rama. All this to destroy the Albanian opposition and to declare it "non grata".
"Yuri Kim, together with Edi Rama, has kicked the constitution of Albania, America and the Vienna Convention. He has violated every norm, law, to keep Edi Rama in power. I will tell you, dear friends, that without any facts, document, evidence, no facts, Antony Blinken declared me 'non grata' the lady in question gathered EU ambassadors and asked them to stand in solidarity with her government's decision. She got a dry no from them. And she didn't he only got a dry no, but he also got the reasons why not.
First, the honorable diplomats told her that you did not ask us when you made this decision. Secondly, you don't have any facts, evidence, or documents for the decision you made to help Edi Rama, the government of Edi Rama and to leave the country without opposition, and we do not agree with this. This is the truth. But from the same positions, the ambassador of Great Britain, Alstair King Smith, acted in the same way. This is also a kind of McGonigall, who has deceived his majesty's government in everything he has sent to Sali Berisha. I tell you, very soon I will expose one by one the base fictions of a corrupt man. But Great Britain is a rule of law and I have great faith in the justice of your country. This corrupt diplomat, after defrauding his government, along with his predecessor, continues to deceive him. He tells him that Berisha attacks the ambassador and the government of his greatness. The truth is that I swore to the ambassador that I will publicly attack him and show the citizens and the world what he stands for, but I have never attacked his majesty's government, for which I have the greatest respect."- said Berisha.
