Berisha has called on US ambassador Yuri Kim to retract her statements about the candidates running for mayor in the upcoming by-elections on March 6.

Earlier today the US embassy to Albania posted a statement made by ambassador Kim, which called on Berisha’s candidates to reconsider their race and refuse to be represented by someone who has been publically designated by the United States government.

“The Commission considers this an unacceptable, unallowable and partial interference into an electoral process, which in this specific instance is siding with the most corrupt government in all of Europe,” – read the statement of the Commission of Refoundation.

13 days before citizens head to the ballots to vote on the new mayor of 6 municipalities, the US ambassador to Albania came out with a public message regarding the candidates that are being supported by citizens that have been declared non-grata.

“Questions for candidates: If your main sponsor is someone designated by the US for significant corruption, what exactly are you promising voters? Who will own you if you win and what will you owe them? What should Albanians expect? What should the US expect?” – wrote the US ambassador in a post on social media.

So far, the United States has publicly designated a total of 4 Albanian citizens, who are now non-grata including Sali Berisha, To Doshi, Vangjush Dako and Adriatik Llalla.
