Greece continues to toughen the rhetoric according to Fredi Beller. Although the case has already gone to trial and there is no going back, Athena is playing all the stones for him to swear.
Today, Beleri had a "special" visit, after the Greek Minister of Citizen Protection, Janis Ikonomu, went to his cell.
The latter reacted after the meeting by repeating the long-standing ultimatum that Albania must respect the rule of law, as this is important for integration. On the other hand, he has threatened to stop the cooperation between the two countries.
" I met today in the prisons of Durrës, in the presence of our ambassador to Albania, Mrs. Konstantinas Kamitsi, with the elected mayor of the Himar Municipality, a member of the Greek ethnic minority of Albania, Mr. Fredis Beleris, who has remained in detention for more than four months.
For Greece, this case was from the beginning and remains extremely serious. Respect for the rule of law and civil rights are the main European principles and values. Greece's position is that in the case of Mr. Beleri, the principles of the rule of law, the presumption of innocence and respect for civil rights are not taken into account. The Albanian side should immediately allow the swearing in of Mr. Beleris as Mayor, respecting the verdict of the citizens in the last elections. The expansion of the current situation seriously casts a shadow over our bilateral relations and is not in line with the European acquis, with all that it entails, " he declared.
Beleri was arrested two days before the May 14 local elections on charges of active corruption in elections or vote buying.
A person cooperated with the police and the prosecutor's office of Vlora to document the fact of the accusation, he was provided with the necessary logistics, since the registrar.
The infiltrator managed to get the sum of 40 thousand new lek in search of 8 votes in favor of Beler. Beleri was declared the winner by the cell in the election, but his oath was never taken to take office.
