The Russian Embassy in Albania has reacted to the statement of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha that 10 years ago he refused the bribe offered by Gazprom for the development of energy projects in Albania.
“We were surprised by Sali Berisha’s words that 10 years ago he refused the bribe allegedly proposed by Gazprom for the development of energy projects in Albania. The question naturally arises: how much did Mr. Berisha ask that even Gazprom could not collect those fabulous sums,” the Russian embassy wrote on Twitter. Former Prime Minister Berisha stated on Thursday that he has rejected a ‘dizzying’ offer from the Russian gas company Gazprom during his time as prime minister. Berisha said that he had done such a thing in the ‘interest of the country’, adding that he had preferred to sign the agreement with TAP, which today is a great liberation for Europe involved in the gas fever.In a reply to Russian Embassy, Berisha said on Friday it was a typical Soviet-style provocation oI dictator Putin’s represent Putin’s.
In a Facebook post, the former prime minister also published a message, which according to him, is the offer proposed by the president of Gazprom. /Argumentum.al
