The SP Parliamentary group addressed a letter to the Albanian President, expressing their concern regarding the behavior of the Greek authorities against the Albanian citizens in the border, such as the case of Top Channel’s reporter, Marin Mema.
The MPs also mention the delicate issue of the maritime border agreement between the two countries.
The MPs underline that the way how the President was elected and the way he has behaved so far leave no hopes that he will act independently from Berisha.
“We followed closely and with great concern the case in which a well known Albanian journalist was banned from entering Greece and was declared unwanted in the neighboring country, considered a threat for the national security of Greece. We and the public are fully aware that this is only the most flagrant and notorious case of the many other incidents, caused by a behavior that s against the European values and standards. Such incidents with citizens, journalists, judges and political representatives, who are treated indecently at the border, demand a mutual solution based on Albanian Constitution and laws”, SP declared.
The opposition underlines that these repeated incidents do not offer the best climate to hold negotiations for the maritime border agreement and do not guarantee the public that the process will be transparent, right and equal.
The Socialist MPs declare that the maritime border issues must be resolved on mutual and equal conditions and they ask the Albanian authorities to expert their power in order to impose all standards on this agreement. Otherwise, SP reminds President Nishani that in case that the same scenario will be repeated, he will be considered a collaborator of the Prime Minister and the Democratic Party in the signing of an agreement that damages the territorial sovereignty of Albania.
