Following his address in Parliament, PD leader Sali Berisha addressed journalists outside the parliamentary building to clarify the status regarding the “non-grata” designation from the United States. Berisha asserted that he was never officially deemed “non-grata,” stating instead that he had received a sanction. He indicated that he had maintained official communication with US representatives concerning the status.
Speaking to the press, Berisha confirmed the lifting of the “non-grata” status from the US. “Sali Berisha was never non-grata. If you want, I will tell you: Sali Berisha was never non-grata.
He had a sanction,” Berisha stated. He added that while his opponents labeled the issue as “non-grata,” he did not dispute the underlying sanctions. Berisha mentioned that the previous restrictions included an entry ban to the US for these reasons.
He concluded by announcing his return, citing his official communication as the basis for his presence. “Today I say I returned. I had official communication, which is why I am here today,” Berisha confirmed.
This statement addressed the lingering controversy surrounding his travel access and his official standing with US authorities.
