Former Albanian President Sali Berisha is set to sue the current US Secretary Antony Blinken for defamation after Blinken accused the former president of corrupt acts that undermined democracy in Albania.
“I am publicly designating Berisha and his immediate family members as ineligible for entry into the United States. We remain United against corruption with our partners in Albania,” he stated.
According to Berisha, Blinken does not have any immunity and his lawyer will sue him publicly in France, at the Correctional Tribunal of Pari. Berisha said that Blinken does not have any evidence against him and his family.
“I publicly authorised my lawyer to sue Mr. Blinken because he publicly offended me without any evidence. This is an unusual decision, but I was forced to take it because he said many untruths about me,” said Berisha.
