David Wisner

The charge d'affaires of the United States in Tirana, David Wisner, in an interview given today for the Voice of America, also focused on the developments in the Parliament of Albania.

When asked about the US attitude towards non-women and on the other hand the recognition of Sali Berisha as the leader of the Democratic Party by the majority of the opposition MPs, Wisner said that nothing has changed in their attitude.

"We continue not to engage with persons declared non-grata under our corruption sanctions. And I would note that those sanctions have included the entire political spectrum, despite what some people like to say here," he said among other things.

Voice of America: You welcomed the agreement between the majority and the opposition that restored normality in parliamentary life. However, in the hall of the parliament we have a reconfiguration on the side of the opposition, where the vast majority of the democratic deputies recognize former prime minister Sali Berisha as their leader. A few months ago, in a statement, the American embassy reiterated its position regarding persons declared non grata, urging all actors to carefully examine their engagements with such figures. What will be your relationship with these actors, or more precisely with the reconstituted democratic parliamentary group?

David Wisner : Armand, our position has not changed. We continue not to engage with persons declared non-grata under our corruption sanctions. And I would note that those sanctions have spanned the entire political spectrum, despite what some people here like to say. So what we are doing here is that we are working with political parties, with civil society, with people across the spectrum to try to make Albania a better country, of course. But in the same aspect, as I said before, what Albanians really want are people who work for the interests of the Albanian people and not for their personal interests. And I think the future of this country does not lie with people involved in corruption. And political parties must present important ideas, must present real governing alternatives. And, of course, they must present candidates that people want to vote for. I have a lot of faith when I hear Albanians tell me that they want to turn the page, and they want to have real options that work in their interest.
