Sali Berisha: Oil supply to Serbia because Kosovo land remains unworked

Albania's former prime minister, Sali Berisha, has talked about lifting the oil embargo on Serbia at the time of the war in Kosovo.

He said he made that decision because he criminalised Kosovo and almost entirely Belgrade. Berisha said in RTK that the embargo caused the land in Kosovo to be left without working, as the price of landmaking was higher than profits from products.

The fact is that Berisha's Albanian government was the only one demanding lifting the embargo because it penalised Kosovo and almost Belgrade at all. The oil controlled Belgrade. It was taken from the Danube. In Kosovo 40-50% of the land remained dirr. They stopped working. Because there went the price of work higher than the profit. Kosovo experienced the entire oil crisis. I didn't want this oil crisis to fall on Kosovo. Kosovo had fertile soil. I publicly sought the removal of Embargo. UN reports show that 96% of the oil Serbia received from the Danube. To enforce international law. Sali Berisha has done everything”

Was there a breach? Of course I do. Border areas traded oil with mules and donkeys. Could I order border areas to kill one person for an oil bottle? I can't accept being shot for an oil bottle. It wasn't just these. If an embargo violation is called transporting oil with mules and donkeys, that's an entrant slogan. Whole load of powder has been given to Bosnia and Croatia, in two countries for war against Serbia. It's the place that helped free with military materials. He had a kind of accord. The stance on war has been more serious against Serbia. I can't feel it. Rejecting the embargo punishing Kosovo I have implemented international law. I didn't order any villagers to be shot for an oil bottle. I ordered them taken but not shot. Sali Berisha has made a contribution to the fight against Serbia by sending weapons to Bosnia and Croatia”, Berisha said.
