Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha reacted today after the publication of the US State Department report, emphasizing that Albania has become a "money laundering haven" for the most dangerous cartels and clans in Europe.
"The State Department in its latest report openly speaks of an economic pattern that is developing and which is actually the economic pattern of the narco-state and the narco-economy. There are no foreign investments in Albania. For 10 years, serious Western investors have not even been counted on the fingers, because they have been replaced by drug traffickers and their money," said Berisha.
According to the former prime minister, it is the drug cartels' terrorists who completely dominate the Albanian market and who dictated the actions of Edi Rama's government.
"The report rightly speaks of massive government corruption, massive corruption in the judiciary. It speaks of drug money, of the lack of foreign investment, all of which are typical of a narco-state," he stressed.
Berisha recalled that large international companies have left Albania over the years, citing examples such as Shell, which spent over 1 billion euros on oil exploration, as well as other real estate projects that amounted to over 1.5 billion euros, but were replaced by drug cartels.
"The DP will continue its mission of full transparency, regardless of the advocates of the narco-state, regardless of what position they have and where they are located, with the full conviction that the Albanian narco-state is a major danger to Albanian citizens, to the citizens of the region, to the EU and to our partners across the Atlantic," Berisha concluded.
