Pëllumbi: I give no explanation “I give no explanation,” replies Servet Pëllumbi, the first chairman of the PS, when asked about the Zeneli-Berisha meeting. It was Pëllumbi himself who, at Monday’s meeting of the Presidium of the PS, lashed out at Zeneli with the accusation that the latter had secretly met with President Berisha. “I give no explanation,” says Pëllumbi without denying the accusation he made against Zeneli. But after Zeneli’s denial yesterday regarding the meeting with Berisha, the president’s press office says the same thing today: “It (the socialist leadership) invents secret meetings between parliamentarians elected by the free vote of the people and the president elected by the same free vote.” After all this “ruckus of dance,” Pëllumbi has tried to wash his hands of it when, during an interview yesterday, he attributes all the recent moves to Nano and says that everything was done on Nano’s orders, while the latter had only proposed a vote from which anyone could be burned, including Pëllumbi himself. page 3
