The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, when asked why the American ambassador to Tirana, Eric Wendt, has not met with him, said that the American diplomat should be asked about this.
"You should ask the American ambassador, not me. I have not had any sanctions other than the visa. There are other laws that provide for other things. At that time, a request was sent to the Treasury, without any basis, for asset verification. The Treasury said that there is no motive for sanctions against Sali Berisha ," said the Democratic leader on the show "ÇdoKënd" by Merita Haklaj.
"I was honored after a vetting was done and I am the only politician in Europe with two vettings. Full vetting up to my grandchildren before birth. Zero was found. It was found that my son-in-law and my daughter have sponsored 3 families with children with autism in the center where my wife has been working for 20 years without any kind of reward. They have gone so far, as if they were Nazis, to publish the names of autistic children, traumatizing the families. So, I tell students to never expect solutions from corrupt individuals ," added Sali Berisha.
