Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and American Ambassador Yuri Kim leave no occasion without mentioning each other in a hostility in which there are not only political accusations.
Berisha often uses an insulting tone and personal accusations against the American ambassador. Here are some of the tags they do:
Berisha: Mcgonigal in a dress
Yuri Kim: Village fireman
Relations were not so bad, but at the time when the US State Department declared the former prime minister as undesirable and accused him of corruption and undermining democracy, Berisha's language became the usual one when he targets someone to hit him. The American ambassador made clear the American position that the Democratic Party led by Lulzim Basha should distance itself from the legacy of Mr. Berisha
Yuri Kim: Don't go by the principle we eat grass and we don't violate principles.
Berisha described the ambassador as an undeclared governor and the rhetoric against her was very close to anti-American rhetoric. Berisha found the name of George Soros as an argument and alibi until he moved to concrete accusations, but also insulting labels for the highest representative of the United States in Albania, diplomat Yuri Kim. This is his last statement:
Berisha today: The ambassador has exceeded every limit, because of the frauds that he has done to her government, she has undertaken reprehensible acts against justice
Mrs. Kim is at the end of her mandate in Albania. She is neither the first nor the last to clash with Albanians and especially Berisha. However, the latest clash is stronger because the United States of America tarnished Berisha by defining him as undesirable, corrupt and undermining democracy./Tch
