"The path to the EU passes through free elections"/ Berisha and the DP

A high-level delegation from the Democratic Party of Albania, led by the leader of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha, held a meeting with Mr. Richards Kols, Member of the European Parliament from the ECR Group and part of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

During the meeting, Berisha presented a clear and shocking overview of the dramatic situation of democracy in Albania, with particular emphasis on developments before, during and after the parliamentary elections of May 11, 2025. He denounced the extreme concentration of power in the hands of Prime Minister Edi Rama, emphasizing that all major opposition leaders have been arrested, prosecuted or face political charges, in a repressive and unprecedented climate for a candidate country for membership in the European Union.

Berisha emphasized that the May 11 elections were not only a profound violation of democratic principles and the Electoral Code, but a complete electoral farce, conducted under conditions of political terror, misuse of institutions and criminal interference.

For his part, MEP Rihards Kols expressed himself well-informed about developments in Albania and expressed interest in pursuing issues that transcend Albania's borders, both through questions to EC Commissioners and the establishment of a mission in Albania to directly assess the situation in Albania.

The meeting emphasized that Albania's path towards the European Union cannot move forward without the restoration of democratic standards, the guarantee of free and fair elections, and the separation of powers as the foundation of a functional democratic system. /CNA
