Das US Statedepartment bestätigt heute ausdrücklich, das Withers Nichts mit den Waffen Geschäften um Gerdec, oder gar AEY zu tun hat, was ohne Zweifel richtig ist.

Der Premier Minister Salih Berisha inzeniert ein herrliches Spektakel, als neue Truppen für den Irak verabschiedet wurden, welche dort unter US Ober Kommando ihren Dienst tuen.
Der US Botschafter John Withers, machte dieses Kasperl Theater mit, was in Wirklichkeit eine Politische Show Tribüne ist für den PM.
Eine klare Distanz zu Geschäften und PR Propaganda einer Regierung ist das einzige und richtige Verhalten von Diplomaten.
Komandot në Irak, Withers bojkoton Berishën

Ambasadori amerikan, John Withers nuk mori dje pjesë në ceremoninë zyrtare të dërgimit të trupave shqiptare në Irak. Lëvizja e fundit e ambasadorit vjen pas një periudhe, kur SHBA ka qenë kritike ndaj qeverisë shqiptare.

Das ist ein Botschafter und der Deutsche Botschafter Bernd Borchardt ist ein Kasperl wie sein Vorgänger Peter Annen, weil die ständig sogar PR Shows u.a. über die Airport Partner Firma mit Hochtief und anderen Bestechungs Politiker für die Regierung inzenieren.
Deutlich wird die Diskrepanz zwischen Diplomatischer Arbeit und korrupten Diplomaten offenbar, welche wie die Deutschen als Einzige in Albanien unverblümt nur Bestechungs Geschäfte betreiben und fördern.
Deutsche Politiker im Solde der Balkan Mafia
Am peinlichsten ging es immer um die Geschäfte der DAW und von diversen Kriminellen, welche als Staatssektretäre Bestechungs Geschäfte betrieben und betreiben. Diese Lobby Verbrecher Vereine wie die DAW, werden natürlich von der Deutschen Botschaft massiv finanziell unterstützt und gefördert. Man muss sich das einmal vorstellen: Ein Deutscher Lobby Verein, erhält Millionen hohe Förderungen, Gelder ohne jede Ausgaben Kontrolle und handelt dann auch noch mit Visas und anderen dubiosen Förderungen, nur damit Kriminelle mit Partei Buch einen Fake Job haben und ihr Bestechungs Kaspar Theater abziehen können.
Wohltuend sind dann die anderen Botschafte, welche eine klare Distanz zu Firmen und Geschäften haben.
Withers Says His Concerns Based on Albanian Realities
“I would like to make clear to those persons that we Americans know how a democratic system works,” he said
TIRANA – US Ambassador to Tirana John L. Withers...
Trotzdem ist die jüngste Sache auch um Damir Fazllic, ein ganz übler Medien Rummel, denn die Medien sind in Hand von kriminellen Familien und oft von Politikern, welche damit Propaganda machen.
Interview in der Zeitung Shqip
Ambassador John L. Withers Interview with ShqipAmbassador John L. Withers II Interview with Shqip (September 9, 200
Shqip: Mr. Ambassador, you have been in Albania for over a year now. What are your impressions?
Ambassador Withers: It has been a fantastic year. In many ways, one of the best years of my life. It is a real joy, even a privilege, to be here. I have had a chance to travel around the country. Albania is such a beautiful country. Everywhere you go, whether it is the mountain areas, the sea, the valleys, it is just tremendous. It is a country that is very rich in culture and in history, and I would say, also, in human wisdom. It is really a great privilege for me to talk to people and to learn from those people. That, really, is the best part, the people of Albania. They are very warm, very personable, very hospitable to strangers. It makes me feel very much at home here. But I would also say, watching the Albanian people, day to day, how hard working they are and how they strive to make their own lives better now and to create even better opportunities for their children. That is a remarkable story and it actually is an inspiration for me on a daily basis to see that happen.
Shqip: Looking back on the past year, what do you think were the achievements of that period?

US Robustly Backs Albanian Prosecutor
16 October 2008 Tirana _ The US ambassador in Tirana John L. Withers backed on Thursday with strong words and praise Albania’s General Prosecutor Ina Rama.
“Her responsibilities are not only to investigate some of the most difficult and controversial cases that Albania has known, but in a larger and more profound sense, to make a profound contribution to the building of Albanian democracy through defending the independence of her institution and of the judiciary in general against political pressure and political attacks,” said Withers.
“It does not take any great wisdom on my part to predict that when the history of Albanian democracy is written, there will be a special chapter in it for people like Ina Rama,” he added.
Prime Minister Sali Berisha has tried to pressure the prosecutor general by trying to open a parliamentary investigation into a probe launched by the Prosecutor's Office against Bosnian businessman Damir Fazlic, a close friend of the premier.
Berisha’s attack on the prosecutor general received strong criticism from the opposition, however the premier has been unaffected
“You can’t put a dismissal motion against me, because you are castrated” he told the opposition in parliament on Thursday.
Fazlic is under investigation for money laundering. Read more:

“I frankly see no legitimate reason for the government or the parliament to make these moves. I urge both the government and the parliament to reconsider these ill-considered actions, which appear to intrude on the independence of an institution that needs to be independent, said Withers.
“My advice, and that of my government, is to let the prosecutors do their job as the independent actors that they are,” he added.
Wither’s statement is the second in the last three days by the US embassy in Tirana condemning the government’s move.
The European Union ambassadors in Tirana on Tuesday also condemned the attack launched by Berisha against the Prosecutor General.
"The Ambassadors of the European Union are troubled by recent developments concerning the judicial system in Albania," the ambassadors said in a joint statement.
"We strongly call upon all, particularly the government, to respect the Constitutional provisions and principles of good governance, including accountability to the law."
Berisha returned to power in Tirana in 2005 on a “Clean Hands” platform, promising to rid the country of the endemic corruption that has plagued its institutions since the fall of the communist regime in 1991.
Since he regained power in 2005 as head of a right-wing coalition, his opponents claim corruption in Albania has only worsened.
Two ministers of his government are currently under investigation for abuse of power, and a senior official is currently being tried for murder and torture.

Siehe über Geldwäsche, wo nun auch vorgegangen wird.

It is a real honor and a privilege to be with all of you today. I have been talking with my colleagues and I know what a distinguished group this is and what an important seminar this will be.

Hier auch die mehr wie klaren Worte des US Botschafter im TV, das er voll hinter der Unabhängigkeit der Task Force und der Generalstaatsanwältin Ina Rama steht
http://www.balkanweb.com/sitev4/index.php?id=28150
Gut gemacht, denn nur klare Worte können bei den Verstrickungen der Politik in Korruption und oft sogar in Drogen Handel und der Geldwäsche über Immobilien helfen.
Eine grossartige Aktion im übrigen der Vorgängerin Frau Ries, welche auf Grund einer schriftlichen Anregung von Ende März 2007 umgehend und sofort auch mit der PAMECA und der Weltbank reagiert, die umsetzung der Task Force.
