Sali Berisha: During these days, in my press conferences, this morning and last Friday, I informed the media and the public that Ms. Kim, US Ambassador to Tirana has intervened in the process of adjudicating the appeal filed against the decision of the Tirana court to the registration of the Statute of the Assembly of December 11, 2021, an appeal which is in flagrant contradiction with the code of civil procedure and the practice of the courts to date.
For her intervention in this issue she has asked for the help of important governors of the Socialist Party. Today, right after my denunciation of this intervention, Ambassador Kim admitted via twitter that she has interfered in the justice system.
Considering this interference a serious and unacceptable act, I add that the courts are presumed to be independent and any interference regardless of make-up constitutes an open violation of this independence and violates the laws and constitution of the country and the international principles of independent justice.
When pressure and interference come from foreign diplomats, in addition to violating the sovereignty and laws of the country, they also violate international conventions that strictly prohibit the return of diplomats to political actors.
I call on the State Department not to allow the unauthorized interference of Ambassador Kim in the judicial process and the independence of the judiciary in Albania.
