The case of Fredi Beleri has brought a diplomatic clash between Greece and Albania, where official Athens does not stop threatening our country for keeping the elected mayor of Himara in prison.
The message from Athens to Tirana in the statements of the Greek ambassador Konstantina Kamitsi to the Albanian media was clear: The detention of the elected ethnic mayor of Himara, Fredi Beleri, will be a thorn in the side of Greek-Albanian relations for some time to come.
Statements about a clear connection between Albania's European perspective and respect for the rule of law (strictly violated by Beler's ban) have prompted a reaction in the Albanian press for 'intervention', which do not hide the concern of Edi Rama's government about the direction that the case is being taken.
Kamitsi was in Himare on Tuesday, when Beleri was supposed to be sworn in as mayor, but was not allowed by the Albanian justice bodies. Instead, a meeting of the municipal council took place, during which the control of the municipality passed with 13-8 votes in favor of the socialists of Rama, an indication of how important this municipality is considered for Tirana.
Athens is expected to undertake institutional actions at the level of EU-Albania relations. Tirana is well aware that the room for maneuver is very limited at EU levels, as the provisions describing the membership process are very clear./ Ekathimerini.com
