Lulzim Basha tells what he would do differently in DP, here is the decision he had to make when Berisha was declared 'non grata'

Asked what he would do differently in his attitude towards Sali Berisha, Lulzim Basha said from the meeting in Shkodër that he regretted giving Berisha time to reflect. The former leader of the Democrats said that he should have immediately removed him from the DP parliamentary group as soon as he was declared non grata by the US.

"I wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to convince him to make the right decision. I realized especially during this year, he has no intention of doing this. We set a standard, for Tom Doshin, Vangjush Dako, for other non grata, and in the case when it happened behind our backs, I did not rush to say the same standard, as I had to say. We sat down and I told him that there is no problem in taking PD with him, and his reaction was that I will not take PD in this process, but he did the opposite and left where we are, beyond the time frame. In September, the decision would be that, it was the right decision for the Democrats and DP, it cannot be DP if it loses the alliance with the West. He cannot come to power without an alliance with the USA, Great Britain. Personal interest cannot become an obstacle for all democrats and Albanians who want change", said Basha.
