For Sali Berisha, the Conference of Ambassadors "Diplo 2024" comes at a moment of major failures in Albanian politics, where he lists Prime Minister Rama as the cause in the relations he said he has with his neighbors, starting from Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro and Macedonia. North.
"The conference is convened at a moment of great failures of Albanian politics. First of all, followed by diplomacy for the most fundamental reason, because the institutions of the narco-state cannot fulfill their constitutional duties. Edi Rama did not say a word about the frozen relations he has created in the southern neighbor, Krjekept for his personal mafia interests in the lands and shores of the Municipality of Himara. He did not say a word about imprisoning the elected mayor for usurping his mandate in order to guarantee that he will appropriate what does not belong to him. Edi Rama did not say a word about the almost de facto freezing of relations with Kosovo, since more openly than Aleksandër Vucic, Edi Rama announced the sanctions against the Republic of Kosovo. It viciously attacked its prime minister, shamelessly lobbied for the disapproval of visa liberalization, a flagrantly hostile act towards a free and independent country, even more so towards a country that is inhabited by 90 percent of Albanians. Edi Rama froze relations in the Republic of North Macedonia, because he engaged directly in the electoral campaign in the most unscrupulous way. Almost frozen relations are also in Montenegro ", said Berisha.
As Rama spoke about a gradual membership in the economic space and the common European market, the leader of the Democrats pointed at him for failures in the country's journey towards the union.
According to the head of the opposition, once again Rama cheated regarding the negotiations.
"The truth is that last December, although it was announced in Tirana by Edi Rama's friends, that in December the first chapter of the negotiations would be opened, in December the European Council and the European Commission imposed 5 new conditions. Albania today is the country of political imprisonment, of political persecution. Today, Albania is the only country in Europe in which 3 leaders of the main opposition parties are under arrest or under criminal prosecution. So, not that there is no progress, but in a unique case, it has been 4 years since the day of the decision to open negotiations, the decision in principle, but the negotiations have not been opened for the chapters and this is because of anti-democratic attitudes, anti-constitutional of Edi Rama" , added Berisha.
Berisha called on the diplomats to remain as representatives of Albania in their mission and not of the one who called him the head of the narco-state.
"I can't help but emphasize that this conference is being held at a time when, regardless of the glosses, Edi Rama is actually the only person who has recruited into corruption to incite against the opposition the famous McGonigal, the former head of counter-intelligence of the FBI for New York. Recruited in corruption with his Agac, the man trusted by the Italian authorities to contribute to the war against drugs in Albania, General Lisi. Edi Rama already appears in the big files, together with his brother, of thefts and national and international trafficking. Once again, condemning the implementation of the principles of the narco-state in Albanian diplomacy, I call on the diplomats to stand as representatives of their country and nation, and not of a clique, a cast, a team, which rules in the alliance of crime, steals elections, transforms the public assets of Albanians into a curse for the citizens, rules with drugs and crime" , concluded Berisha.
