He said that “this statement is reminiscent of the declarations of the patriots of Belgrade and the ultranationalists in Athens, according to whom the Albanian government does not control the north and that Albania is a failed state.” According to Mr. Berisha, “there cannot be a more anti-national statement than this for the prime minister of the country.” “With this statement, Fatos Nano seeks to justify his complete failures in restoring order and law in the country. This statement is an alarm for every Albanian,” he said. Berisha called on institutions and political actors to react to this statement. “No prime minister of a sovereign country can say that he does not control his own territory and remain in office,” he said. The president of the PD Parliamentary Group, Tritan Shehu, described Nano's statement as “an unprecedented and very serious act for national interests.” He said that “a prime minister who declares that he does not control the territory must step down immediately.” SELBERG HASANI [?
