Lobbying contract/ Topalli: We have clarified it, I have nothing more to say
The DP's political leader for the Diaspora, Jozefina Topalli, held a press conference together with the head of the Department of Justice, Franc Nuri, regarding the emigrant vote.

Topalli was asked by journalists during the conference about the DP lobbying contract. Topalli answered the question by saying that her duty in the DP is different and the DP has given its explanation on this issue. Topalli further said that she has nothing more to add to the DP's explanation.

" My task is different. The DP has clarified it and I have nothing more ," said Topalli.

Earlier in a reaction to the contract, the Democratic Party emphasized that there is no financial burden or contractual obligation arising from this agreement.

" Regarding information distributed in the media about the DP's lobbying of the US Government and Congress, we would like to clarify the following:

The Albanian-American community, through the “Make Albania Great Again” foundation, has contracted the “Continental” company to help consolidate the friendly relations of the Democratic Party as the largest opposition force with the US Congress and Government. The goal of our compatriots in the US is the cooperation of the DP with Albania’s main ally to restore functional democracy and the rule of law in Albania.

The Continental company is led by Ambassador Carlos Trujillo, who is also known as President Trump's lawyer and a staunch anti-communist in his stances!

The financial contribution to achieve this goal has been undertaken 100% by Albanian patriots who have lived and worked in the USA for decades, as well as other democrats who have left Albania for the past 10 years due to Edi Rama's regime!

"The Democratic Party, thanking the anti-communist Democrats of the Albanian-American community for their generosity and patriotism, clarifies to the public that although it has agreed to receive this service in full compliance with the laws of both countries, there is no financial burden or contractual obligation arising from this agreement ," the statement said./ CNA
