"My salary was 16 dollars"/ Berisha recounts his years in office as

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, recounted in a podcast today some untold events from his political and family life.

Among other things, Berisha also focused on the time when he served as President of the Republic.

"My salary as president was $16, the Albanians $4-6. The Americans intervened and helped us at that time, as well as with the Housing Authority. I also had advisors. I had no knowledge of the market economy. American representatives also came, they gave us 2-3 month courses on the market, which we did not have at that time. The country was in that situation. We started with stabilizing the currency and with the main income from the private economy, as well as lower taxes. Reagan's economic philosophy inspired me at that time. First, he was anti-communist, he declared communism as a great evil, I was impressed by him. There is nothing worse than preventing another from believing in God. My father was also very religious and he always said that just as Enver Hoxha had done, not even God could help us", - confessed the leading democrat.

Berisha also shared moments from his first visit to the White House in the USA.

"When I went to the White House for the first time, I was certainly emotional, it was the first meeting, but again Kosovo dominated there. Where I denounced the fact that the Serbian plan was to expel half of the Kosovars to the Dukagjin Plain and I told them that this could not happen. I have maintained relations with former President Bush, he came twice and I also went to visit Houston, Texas together with Lili", - said Berisha. /CNA
