The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during his speech at the IDU forum in Zagreb, said that Albania's integration into the European Union should be completely based on merit.
He stated that, although Albanian citizens' support for the EU and NATO remains high, the integration process is being delayed due to internal factors.
"In my opinion and that of my party, the integration process means more human rights, more freedom for citizens, the functioning of the rule of law, more prosperity and security. But the process must be completely based on merit," said Berisha.
Berisha identified some of the main obstacles, harshly criticizing the current situation in the country.
"The main obstacles to integration are electoral autocracy... Albania is the only narco-state in Europe. Drugs in Albania have an extraordinary power," he declared.
Berisha also accused Prime Minister Rama of having a Serbia-Albania project with Vučić to divide the borders, and according to him, the target is Kosovo, but their idea has been rejected and obstructed.
"The third main factor is that there are some very strange initiatives, like the Belgrade-Tirana one, which goes in the opposite direction to EU integration. Since the beginning of these regional initiatives of Aleksandar Vučić and Edi Rama, they started with the project of changing borders. In fact, behind it was hidden the division of Kosovo. Fortunately, even though they held the crisis hostage for many years, this idea was rejected," Berisha said.
