After US and EU ready to isolate Sali Berisha, MEPs urge Brussels to support US sanctions

After US and EU ready to isolate Sali Berisha, MEPs urge Brussels to support US

Trouble for former Prime Minister Sali Berisha risks escalating. The "non ngrata" declaration by the US may not be the only action against him, as the signals are that the European Union can do the same. Yesterday in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament began discussions on the annual report of the MEP, Lucas Mandl on cooperation in the fight against organized crime in the Western Balkans. MEP Viola Von Cramon has come up with a proposal, when she demands that the EU follow the same path as the US regarding the declaration "non grata" of corrupt persons or those who undermine the stability of the Balkans. "The EP welcomes the US commitment to the Western Balkans, including its stance on the fight against corruption. Appreciates in this context the US executive order to sanction persons who contribute to the destabilization of the region, as well as actions targeting individuals and entities for significant corrupt acts in Bulgaria and sanctions against former Prime Minister Berisha in Albania. "The commission calls on the EU to take a completely similar approach," the proposal said. If he is taken into account, it is not surprising that the names that the US has declared "non grata" are isolated from Brussels, not allowing them to move to the union states, and there may be measures to freeze assets and assets. stated in her proposal.

EU movements

Some time ago, the newspaper published a request from the French MEP, Dominique Bilde, who sent a letter to the European Commission regarding "non grata" persons. She asks the EC if they too will seek to clear the policy of the incriminated and set it as a condition for negotiations. During her visit to Albania on February 20, 2021, Commissioner Ylva Johansson, in a press conference, asked the Albanian authorities to present candidates with high integrity in the elections of April 25, 2021. On March 24, 2021, the US Ambassador to Albania expressed concern about the candidacy of Mr. Tom Doshi, leader of the Social Democratic Party. According to Albanian media, Mr. Doshi was barred from entering the United States by the State Department because of his involvement in "significant corruption." According to an article published on March 18, 2021, The CEC approved his party's participation in the April 25th elections. "Against the background of the dialogue for the opening of negotiations with Albania, what will the Commission do to encourage the country to clean up its policy", the letter reads. So it seems clear that many MEPs want the EU to follow the American example.

Fight against corruption

The right-wing MEP, David Lega, raises corruption in Albania as a concern. According to him, after drug trafficking, corruption is the most flourishing crime. "Corruption and organized crime remain a serious concern in the Western Balkans; The EP points out as an example that in Albania, corruption is the second largest source of illicit financial income (IFF), after narcotics trafficking. "The World Bank estimates that 36.1 percent of companies in Albania during 2019 faced at least one request for a bribe," he said.
