Greek EC deputy mayor complains to Varhelyi: Albania faces consequences for
European Commission Deputy Head Margaritis Schinas has expressed "serious concern" about leaving an "ethnic-Greek official" in jail, referring to the case of Fredi Beller.

In a letter to EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi, Schinas said Albania, which seeks EU entry, should face consequences if "mayor-elect Fredi Beleri continues to be prevented from taking office after the democratic election".

His jailing, he said, is a violation of due legal process and could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate voters.

The European Union, he said, cannot stand by and allow such violations without reacting.
