In a Facebook post, the US Embassy wrote the move \u201cdeserves respect\u201d and it shows that the DP has the will to \u201cbreak up from the past\u201d in order to build its future.<\/p>\n<p>Sali Berisha maintained a harsh stance against DP\u2019s leader, accusing him of collaborating with PM Edi Rama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdi Rama, you can buy off or sell Lulzim Basha, but never the DP or Albanian democrats. You\u2019re completely hopeless with those backstabbing plans you made with Lulzim Basha\u201d, stressed Berisha.<\/p>\n<p>Berisha expressed with almost certainty that there is an obscure deal between Rama and Basha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will leave the date of that pact to historians, but I guarantee that what happened is an agreement between Rama and Basha, on the back of Albanian voters, which needs to be dismantled\u201d, said the former premier.<\/p>\n<p>The leader of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha announced Thursday evening that he is expelling Sali Berisha from DP\u2019s parliamentary group until accusations made against Berisha by the State Department are cleared out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/10\/berisha-well-cooperate-with-party-members-to-put-dp-on-the-pedestal-it-deserves\/\">Berisha: We\u2019ll cooperate with party members to put DP on the pedestal it deserves<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/10\/the-pain-i-feel-because-of-my-decision-became-twice-as-great-after-berishas-reaction-said-basha\/\">The pain I feel because of my decision, became twice as great after Berisha\u2019s reaction, said Basha<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/10\/invitation-to-cooperate-with-dp-still-valid-says-pm-rama\/\">Invitation to cooperate with DP still valid, says PM Rama<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, set up a meeting with the heads of the party branches on Saturday.
