The ruling Conservatives has announced Fredi Beleri, an ethnic Greek mayor-elect in Albania recently sentenced to two years in prison for vote-buying, as a candidate for the upcoming European elections.
Να σημειωθεί ότι οίκος Standard & Poor’s αναβάθμισε προσφάτως τη μακροπρόθεσμη πιστοληπτική ικανότητα της Αλβανίας σε «BB-» από «B+», αναγνωρίζοντας την οικονομική ανθεκτικότητα της χώρας και τη συνετή διαχείριση των δημόσιων οικονομικών εν μέσω πολλαπλών προκλήσεων.
"On May 14, 2023, the municipal elections were held in Himare. Two days before the elections, Fredi Beleri was arrested and remains in temporary custody to this day, having already been convicted at first instance for alleged bribery.
The two-year jail sentence lowered on ethnic Greek and Himare mayor-elect Fredi Beleri "intensifies concerns expressed in relation to how objective the process was," the Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Tuesday.
In line with a broader European trend, Greece witnessed a rise in the number of individuals granted citizenship in 2022, compared with the previous year.
Kasselakis also said that relations between the two countries should be seen more creatively, as, for example, establishing Albanian as a foreign language of choice in Greece or Greek as such in Albania.
