Interview with President Berisha given to the Swiss newspaper “HANDELSZEITUNG”
“Albania belongs to the western part of Europe”
I have the deep conviction that Albania will have free and orderly elections, and I am sure that the Democratic Party will win these elections
In the next four years we will try to implement a new program to secure new jobs in the center of the country and in the city where private investments are once again taking place

Alliance of nostalgics
We asked for a little clarification regarding the statement that we would place Albania on the right side of Europe, since the possibilities of taking this side of the cabinet in our country are specifically very limited. He said that this was about integrating the country into the complex of Europe’s right-wing and conservative institutions. In response to the question, on the other hand, of what he understands by the concept of the “right wing” in Albania, President Berisha said that it was a political and economic orientation that defends free initiative, private property, fair competition, the rule of law, and the traditional values of the family.
According to him, right-wing governance in Albania has been decisive in breaking with the communist past and in building a market economy. He emphasized that the reforms have brought visible results in economic stabilization, growth in production, and the expansion of the private sector. The President added that the elections will be free, fair, and transparent, and that Albanian citizens will decide their own future.
He underlined that Albania belongs to the western part of Europe not only geographically, but also in terms of its values, history, and aspirations. Berisha said that cooperation with Western countries and integration into Euro-Atlantic structures are strategic objectives of Albanian policy.
At the end of the interview, he expressed optimism about the country’s economic prospects and about the possibility of attracting foreign investment, adding that Albania is a country with great potential and with an energetic and hardworking people.
