The Greek minister in Albania is expected to meet Fredi Beleri in Durrës

 The Minister of State of Greece, Stavros Papastavrou has arrived in Albania.

According to Protothema , Papastavrou is expected to meet today with the elected mayor of Himara, Fredi Beleri, who is in prison.

The meeting is expected to take place in Durrës prison, where Beleri has been held for months. The visit takes place in the function of the court that will be held tomorrow, to once again express support for him.

Beleri was arrested two days before the May 14 local elections. According to the prosecution, the wiretapping shows that he offered money in exchange for votes in his favor.

Beleri rejected the accusations and spoke about an act with a political background. His repeated requests for the change of the security measure have been rejected by all levels of the judiciary, to which he has appealed again with the same request.

His arrest has significantly aggravated the relations between Tirana and Athens. The latter has requested his release, claiming that human and minority rights have been violated, as well as threatening to block Albania's path in the process of joining the European Union.
