Visa, Berisha: Help from the USA

During a meeting with the journalists of Korce, the Prime Minister underlined that they are not claiming any favors for this process, and valued the cooperation and the friendly relations between Albania and the United States of America.

A few days ago, during the introduction of the Democratic Party candidates in Durres, Berisha promised to remove the visa with the United States of America, so that the Albanian citizens can travel free throughout the world.

“With these deep reforms we removed the visa with Europe, and with these deep erforms we will remove the visa regime with the United States and you will travel free throughout the world”, Berisha declared a few days ago.

After this declaration, Top Channel sent a request for information to the United States Embassy in Tirana, and their Public Relation office replied:

“The Visa Waiver Program is sanctioned by law and there are a series of statutory requests that should be fulfilled before taking it under consideration. The current law says that the countries that have less than 3% of the visa requests refused should be allowed for the visa waiver program, and after this they can enter in an agreement wit the United States to share the data of individuals who can be a danger for the United States. The refusal level for Albania in 2012 was 40.5%”, the answer says.
