The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Albania, Olta Tzatska, after the statements of the Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis about the Beleris case, with a post on Twitter, states that there is no political will to get Mr. Beleris out of prison or put a notary public in prison so that he can be sworn in as mayor.

With the statement of Mr. Gerapetritis that the Beleris case ” it does not affect the judicial function in Albania, but it is purely a matter of political will”the Albanian Foreign Minister also replies that “this matter should not be based on Greek legislation but on Albanian legislation”.

The entire post of the Albanian Foreign Minister:

“Our Greek friends and neighbors cannot be the only ones who are right, when they insist on a request that was rejected by the Albanian courts and it is clear to other friends and partners, who say that this is a matter of Albanian justice!

The new Albanian justice bodies have spoken clearly with their decisions and the Albanian government has also spoken clearly: The matter of the mayor’s swearing-in held by the judiciary is a matter of justice. Not the Albanian government. Nor the Greek government.

I told my Greek counterpart, whom I respect very much, that this issue should not be based on Greek legislation but on Albanian legislation.

And according to Albanian law there is no political will to get Mr. Beleris out of jail or put a notary in jail so he can be sworn in as mayor. Unfortunately that’s the way it is “.
