Berisha: Referendum for immunity
24/08/2012

The Albanian Prime Minister, Sali Berisha, declared that the immunity for high rank officials should be lifted, and the majority decided to address to the opinion of the Albanians in a referendum. The Prime Minister declared that they majority will submit the referendum request in the first two weeks of September.

“Immunity is an important obstacle for the investigation of high rank officials. It is dishonest and unjust that the government representatives and judges still have immunity. I hope that this referendum request will not be valid only for the majority MPs”, Berisha declared.

Asked about the Secret Service director replacement without consulting the US partners for this move, the government leader declared that Albania has an excellent cooperation with USA in the safety area.

“I am convinced that our cooperation with the US will be better. The security consults with Albania’s main ally are constant”, Berisha declared.

As for the ban of Top Channel’s journalist from entering the Greek territory, the Prime Minister declared that this is a problem that is being treated with seriousness.
