Following the unsuccessful efforts of Europeans, American diplomacy is introduced, which lands in Albania at a time when the opposition has burned the mandates and started unstopable protests while the majority is preparing for elections. The first US official meeting will be with Prime Minister Edi Rama today, while on Tuesday, April 9th, he is expected to meet with President Ilir Meta.
On the same day, Palmer will hold a conversation with Democratic Party Chairman Lulzim Basha and other opposition leaders. After meetings with senior officials, it is taught that Matthew Palmer will also have a meeting with a group of Albanian journalists. A day before US envoy President Ilir Meta's visit, he called for dialogue.
I only believe in political solutions through a responsible and real dialogue to restore the country's complete constitutional, institutional and democratic normality. I encourage and encourage all responsible politicians wherever they are located, in majority or opposition, to show that these 22 years cannot be wasted for the sake of stubborn and force demonstrations through bribery, and unnecessary antimigration”, Meta said.
Palmer's visit preceded the visit of US State Department official Jonathan Moore, who held several meetings, while the public for the media became only the Democratic Party deputy Rudina Hajdari and former Prime Minister Sali Berisha.
The US diplomat's visit seems like a “dejav” of two years ago, when the political crisis gave the deputy solution to US State Secretary Hoyt Bryan Yee, while remaining to be seen if Palmer will assume the role of negotiator between the sides. Yet Matthew's influence Palmer appeared at the beginning of the crisis.
A day before the opposition deputies left the warrants, Palmer held two telephone conversations with opposition leaders Basha and Grand, while after communicating with the US official, although the opposition did not withdraw from the extreme act, its protest resulted in calm and violence, unlike that of February 16th.
