The "non-grata" sanction of Berisha/ Kasanof: I cannot speak on behalf
US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans, Alexander Kasanof

The US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans, Alexander Kasanof, was asked this Friday about the "non-grata" sanction imposed by the US on former Prime Minister Sali Berisha.

Kasanof said that the "non-grata" designation is an important tool to help reform the justice system and pursue anti-corruption cases.

"Normally I don't talk about specific people and the details of those cases. What I would like to reiterate here is that the United States sees the designations as an important tool to help reform the justice system and pursue anti-corruption and organized crime issues. These tools are built to help local agencies on the ground, especially agencies like SPAK, to achieve their mission, but they are also built to help improve the rule of law and ongoing reforms in the justice system. This is what we emphasize. And this is where our emphasis and our continued focus will remain," he said in an interview with the Voice of America.

Asked about the opposition's expectations for the lifting of this sanction by the administration of President Donald Trump, he refused to make a prediction.

"I cannot speak on behalf of the incoming administration. It would be inappropriate. But, I can reiterate for you that in the current administration, we will continue to focus on these reforms and focus on helping institutions like SPAK fulfill their mission", emphasized the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans ./ CNA
