Berisha calls on Trump to declare Albanian cartels as terrorist organizations:

During a press conference, Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha called on President Donald Trump and the US government to declare Albanian cartels as terrorist organizations. He emphasized this request by linking these groups to money laundering and criminal activities involving billions of euros earned from drug trafficking.

He emphasized that the Democratic Party is ready to provide any evidence that shows the involvement of these individuals in the activities of the most dangerous cartels in the region and the world.

Berisha : But in the US position, there is a qualitative, very important change.
Attorney General Bondi talks about drug cartels.
President Donald Trump has declared drug cartels in several countries as terrorist groups.
I call on President Trump and the US government to declare these Albanian groups, which are among the most dangerous in the region, Europe and the world, as terrorists.
Which move billions, billions, billions of euros in drug money and launder them freely, without any kind of restriction in Albania with the signature of the head of these cartels, the head of criminal organizations, Edi Rama.
The declaration of Albanian mafia organizations as terrorist organizations is a serious, great contribution to security in Albania, to security in the region, to the security of NATO and Europe and beyond.
Therefore, I guarantee that the DP is ready to present every document, every piece of evidence that proves the direct implication of Edi Rama, Olsi Rama, Taulant Balla, Ervin Hoxha and many others in the activities of the most dangerous cartels in the region and the world.
So, I am here before you to emphasize once again to the Albanians that yesterday marks a very important turning point for Albanians, for Albania, the region and Europe, the labeling of Albanian criminal groups, organizations linked to the government and Edi Rama, as drug cartels.
All those who hesitated or found the label of a narco-state in Albania a bit distant, as strange, should now have no more doubts.
Albania is a state of drug cartels.
Albania was and is a narco-state even before the creation of the cartels, but the creation of the cartels is the result of the official policies that Edi Rama followed from 2015 until today.
The drug cartels in Albania are also the most powerful decision-makers in the government, in the parliament, in the local governments.
They dictated the election results in the last elections with violence and drugs, transforming the elections of May 11, 2025 into the ugliest electoral farce in the country's history in 34 years.
