Democratic MP Belind Kelliçi said that if it is true that Lulzim Basha received 500 thousand dollars in funding from Russia, he should come out and say it.

In an interview for Euronews Albania, he stated that at that time, i.e. in 2017, no MP was aware of the lobbying contract, while he emphasized that it was done individually and for this it belongs only to the former leader of the DP , Lulzim Basha to speak.

“At the moment when the reports came from the BBC, VOA and there was talk of American intelligence reports, this must of course be dealt with.

It is in Basha’s honor to speak openly and be transparent. If there is any truth in this matter, it is a stain that no one in the DP has to bear, except those who know and were behind that lobbying scheme. This is a very serious matter, it directly affects our relations with the US. At that time, no PD MP was aware of the lobbying contract. It was done individually, so it’s up to Basha to speak,” declared the deputy.
