For a scandalous decision of the court in Avlona, ​​since the evidence is not incontrovertible, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks in a statement regarding the pre-trial detention of the candidate for Mayor of Heimarra, Dionysis-Frentis Beleris.

“Today’s decision of the court in Avlona, ​​if the evidence is not irrefutable, is scandalous” he says characteristically and emphasizes that the arrest of a candidate for Mayor two days before the elections does not constitute the rule of law.

“The decision to pre-trial detention the candidate for Mayor brings about a complete reversal of the rules of equality in the municipal elections in Heimarra, the most important center of the Greek National Minority in Albania“, he adds and explains that such a decision will also have an impact on the relations of the European Union with Albania, as a condition of this European course is the adherence of the candidate countries to the European rules and the principles of the rule of law.

Decisions like today’s which violate the above principles mean that in practice Albania is not following the European path, he summarizes.
