On the eve of the May 11th general elections, the debate on status “non grant” of Sali Berisha in the US has returned to the spotlight, this time after a Twitter post by American journalist Mark Caputo.

Caputo claims to have communicated with a U.S. State Department representative and that he has received an answer suggesting that, in some cases, Berisha's trip to the US is not fully excluded. He has not published names, official titles or documents that support that claim. His comment was widely distributed on Albanian social networks and media, sparking discussion on the validity and timing of this statement.

This comes at a moment when the Democratic Party has linked a $6 million lobbie contract with American political strategist Chris Lacivita, a name known in conservative US campaigns. The goal: to influence the revision of Berisha's status by American institutions.

The following questions are:
• Is Caputo's statement a real institutional communication, or a personal interpretation?
• Has the US stance regarding Berisha changed?
• And if so, what effect can such a development have on this campaign phase?

In the past, figures declared <x0non grata” by the U.S. But these are limited and closely linked cases with international protocols, not bilateral political commitments.

So far, there is no official confirmation from the U.S. State Department.

On the eve of a national decision, where words weigh as much as works, it remains to be seen whether this is a real political signal or a last-minute attempt to change the maneuver. But one thing is clear:

Status “non grata” not resolved with status on Twitter. And a six million-dollar question deserves more than half the answer./Top Channel/ Periscope.
