Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Dr. Karen Donfried will travel to the Western Balkans, while the US State Department announces that she will visit Albania on April 28, where is the 100th anniversary of US-Albania diplomatic relations.
“It will also underline our strong support for Albania’s EU membership and regional economic integration, as well as stress the need to fully implement justice reform and fight corruption,” the statement said.
ABC learns that Karen Donfried will also hold a meeting with 3 Democratic officials who continue to support the American line, Jorida Tabaku, Gazment Bardhi and Enklejed Alibeaj.
As Gabriel Escobar did in December, before the meeting of the Stadium Assembly, his boss, Karen Donfried, is expected to make clear the position of the Americans if Sali Berisha takes over the leadership of the largest opposition party.
Meanwhile, at noon on Friday, a meeting is scheduled with Prime Minister Rama at 12:00.
This is the second meeting that Yuri Kim has with Alibeaj in a very short time. Meanwhile, we recall that clashes between former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and the US ambassador have recently increased.
Berisha has accused Kim of influencing the Court process regarding the leadership of the Democratic Party.
On the other hand, after the announcement of “Non Grata”, the US has stated that it will never recognize Sali Berisha as chairman of the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Yuri Kim himself, after a meeting with Enkelejd Alibeja, said that he is the commanding chairman of the Democratic Party after the withdrawal of Lulzim Basha.
Political analysts have commented on the meeting of the senior official of DASH with Alibeaj, saying that Karen Donfried expected to take a firm stance on Sali Berisha.
