The visit has been postponed. If the statement published by the Albanian opposition yesterday evening does not, as it seems, prompt a positive response from Berisha, Petersen will not come to Tirana.

He had asked the opposition parties: the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and Balli Kombëtar, to take steps to calm the situation and start the campaign. The opposition told him that it is presenting final demands to Fino, so that he can pass them on to Berisha, in order to enter the elections.
