"Dangerous game inside the Albanian politics against Greece"

The Albanian Constitutional Court cancels the agreement signed by Karamanlis

...Legal circles, who know well the negotiations last year and the contents of the agreement, they state that there is no irregularity, and note that the delimitation of the continental shelf was made in accordance with all rules of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, that the Constitutional Court noted.

Albania has to say what the irregularities and not to create undue impressions. The same cycles characterizing the argument as a joke of the Albanian opposition accepted by the Constitutional Court that in order to attend the negotiations, the Albanian delegation had first to get formal permission from the President of the Republic. The same sources note that the agreement is actually quite fair.

In Addition, legal and diplomatic circles emphasized that Greece must meet very tough and demand the immediate ratification of the agreement by the Albanian parliament-and therefore urge the Greek government (especially the Foreign Ministry) to refuse to renegotiate, while also to send a firm message to Tirana to stop involving major transnational issues in their domestic political controversy, especially to avoid creating tensions in bilateral relations.
