We were there, when DP came to power for the first time and we hope to be in a position, once again to celebrate when they regain power. Democracy is defined by the existence of a viable strong opposition party,\u201d- said the US ambassador.<\/p>\n<p>The US ambassador also stated that the US is committed to fighting the war against corruption and lack of impunity, at any possible level, while responding to the accusations of outsiders meddling into Albania\u2019s domestic matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to confirm that, from the perspective of Washington, we are dead serious about the fight against corruption and impunity, and we will continue to move forward and we will continue to attack this problem wherever we find it, regardless of rank, position or party. I have seen some disturbing reports that what has happened in terms of our designation is somehow an attack on Albania\u2019s sovereignty. It\u2019s factually wrong and it\u2019s offensive.<\/p>\n<p>I would remind everyone that on May 6<sup>th<\/sup> 1919, when the rest of the world wanted Albania to disappear, US president Wilson was the one who spoke up and said that Albania should be independent. So, for those who would attempt to place the United States opposite to the people of Albania, I would say to them you are wrong,\u201d- said the US ambassador.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/24\/basha-to-meet-us-ambassador-kim-first-since-berishas-ousting\/\">Basha to meet US Ambassador Kim, first since Berisha\u2019s ousting<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/24\/analyst-calls-voting-in-favour-of-a-government-despite-absolute-conviction-that-its-corrupt-a-paradox\/\">Analyst calls voting \u2018for\u2019 a government despite absolute conviction that it\u2019s corrupt, a paradox<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/23\/92-of-albanians-believe-their-government-is-totally-drenched-in-corruption\/\">92% of Albanians believe their government is totally drenched in corruption<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US ambassador, Yuri Kim gave a statement for the press after her meeting with the Chair of DP, Lulzim Basha, during which she said that Washington will remain committed to working closely with the Democratic Party.
