"The drug state in Albania is the main obstacle to EU integration"/

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, spoke after the conference on EU enlargement towards the Western Balkans organized in Podgorica by the EPP.

Berisha announced that he presented P's views on the integration process of Albania and the countries of the region at the conference.

The chief democrat stated that the main obstacle to Albania's integration into the EU is the narco-state.

Berisha described his return as epic and said he was congratulated by old friends.

 

"I had the opportunity to present the views of the Democratic Party on the integration processes of Albania and the region. Of course, from the opposition's point of view, the slowdown of this process has internal causes according to the countries.   The drug state in Albania is the main obstacle to Albania's integration into the EU.

Albania, as the first and only narco-state in Europe, is not fully recognized as such, but I think that more and more is being contributed to making the Albanian reality known to the European center-right political elite and beyond.

You saw that they listened to me with great interest. And then I received very positive comments from those present about the discussion I had. It was an open discussion, of course I was the only opposition member on the panel, since the others represented the government. I said from the beginning that I represent the opposition and I have different views regarding the slowness of the integration process which is almost entirely due to local factors. From the lack of respect for democratic standards, from the deep penetration of crime into governance. In Albania specifically, the narco-state, from the use of political terror to obtain votes and mandates.

So I presented the Albanian reality as it is.  It was received brilliantly. This comeback of its kind is epic, so I met old friends and they congratulated me. Of course, their determination too. Albania is not what it was. Knowledge about Albania is completely different today. Edi Rama will have an impossible time manipulating, as he has manipulated opinions until now," said Berisha./ CNA
