Greek MEP Anna-Michelle Assimakopoulou and European Commission official Thomas Hagleitner

The European Commission has given a clear answer to Athens, which for several months has been trying to block Albania's integration process due to the detention of the elected mayor of Himara, Fredi Beleri, who is accused of buying votes in the local elections of the year passed.

Claiming that Beleri's hearing had been delayed and that he had been refused permission to leave prison to speak in his capacity as mayor, Greek MEP Anna-Michelle Assimakopoulou said the case was bigger than a feud. two countries.

But the Greek MEP was strongly opposed by the senior official of the European Commission, Thomas Hagleitner, when he said that the "Beleri" issue is a European issue.

"This matter belongs to justice, we do not comment on matters that are under trial and for this matter we support the SPAK", said Hagleitner, Head of the Unit responsible for Regional Policy and Strategy of the Western Balkans, Neighborhood and Enlargement Negotiations at the European Commission .
