In any case, the behavior of the Albanian police showed an attempt to give a signal that the government of Tirana will not make any concessions in the case of Beler, who is accused of bribery of votes in the amount of 340 euros.
The politicization of his case by the government of Edi Rama was also seen as an insult to the Greek minority, which perceived the police's attitude as disrespecting its customs and traditions.
As for the wider issue of Beler and the prospect of Albania's EU membership, which Athens is threatening to block, the funeral in Himara dealt a major blow to the Albanian government's case, as footage became available to all those who are putting pressure on Greece not to pursue the case.
Beler's lawyers and family members appealed to the authorities for a 48-hour leave. Although from the beginning the prison authorities were oriented towards a six-hour leave, it was never granted.
Beler was taken to his grandmother's grave surrounded by police officers. When at one point, some bystanders called out his name, Beler was rushed to the car to go back to prison.
The sight of the Albanian police officers, hastily stepping on the graves, ignited further tensions in a very closed area, where a total of over 400 people were present./ KATHIMERINI .
