Helsinki: Stop foreigners in the Albanian campaign

One-sided interference in the political struggle before the elections The election law prohibits “conducting a campaign by persons who do not hold Albanian citizenship” One-sided interference in the political struggle before the elections Helsinki: Stop foreigners in the Albanian campaign The election law prohibits “conducting a campaign by persons who do not hold Albanian citizenship” Berisha and the DP need help. There is absolutely no other way to explain why a foreigner travels from city to city and campaigns for Berisha and the DP in Albania more than for Chirac and Jospin in France. In this sense, the Frenchman Pericard seems clever. In France he cannot do the same thing he does in Albania. So he has found a place where such things can be done. He knows very well that in his own country no one can do what he is doing in Albania. But, on the other hand, Pericard knows well that he is violating Albanian election law. If he does not know this, so much the worse. page 3 Former US ambassador Rajerson, one of the leaders of the DP campaign on 22 March
