The preannounced negotiations between the Albanian and the Greek governments about the maritime sea border has brought a reaction of the opposition, which says that the government is rushing to realize a new agreement by avoiding transparency.
Sajmir Tahiri, vice Chairman of the Socialist Parliamentary Group declared that Prime Minister Berisha is keeping everything in the dark, without any transparency about a future border agreement between Albania and Greece. Tahiri asked President Bujar Nishani to survey the new negotiations step by step.
“We ask the Albanian President to make everything public with the power that he has, or to authorize a negotiating group of experts for the agreement between Albania and Greece. We appeal him to exclude everyone that was involved in the first negotiation that was rejected by the Constitutional Court. The new agreement cannot be negotiated again by Gerveni and his friends, the same people that had no professional and national conscience when the first agreement was planned”, Tahiri declared.
The Socialists are not against the agreement, but they insist on having maximal transparency.
“We want transparency about every step of the dialogue and negotiations for the new agreement. We want a full explanation of the current agreement, if there is, and full transparency in every step of the negotiation, until the finalization of the next agreement, whenever it might be. We want the implementation of the Constitutional Court and the inclusion of independent experts, civil society and foreign specialists together with the government’s negotiating group, because the land, the sea and the national sovereignty do not belong to the government and Sali Berisha cannot buy them, but they belong only to the people”, Tahiri declared.
Tahiri reminded Berisha that the opposition will not allow another bad agreement in the 100th anniversary of independence, like the one that the Socialists say that was planned in the office of the Prime Minister by threatening the sovereignty of the country.
