The US Ambassador, Donald Lu, declared that the justice reform is essential for the country’s hopes for EU membership.
This is the most important reform in 25 years from the fall of communism, he said in an interview for Birn.
But why is the ambassador so personally involved in liberating the Albanian justice system from the corrupted ones?
“We are doing our job. Everybody in the US Embassy is focused on the justice reform due to a direct instruction of the highest White House officials and the State Department. They have clearly stated that the number one priority of the US government for Albania is to support the reforms that take the country closer to the EU”, the Ambassador said.
Lu said that the reforms have also many enemies. He appealed political parties to stand together and support him.
“This is the time for political leaders in Albania to show courage against thouse who hamper or reduce the effect of this reform. I have been impressed in the past weeks by the unity of the leaders of the Socialist Party, the Democratic Party and the Socialist Movement for Integration in favor of a reform that approves a full implementation of the recommendations of the Venice Commission”, the Ambassador declared.
Lu said he was convinced that the reform has the potential to end the impunity of high-rank officials and stop political corruption.
However, he warned that Albanians should not expect an overnight miracle.
Lu insisted that the USA in will not find peace until the process is complete.
