Albanian President Ilir Meta praised former Premier Sali Berisha, saying he is like a fine wine that only becomes better with age.

President Meta commented Berisha’s new initiative within the Democratic Party defying current Chairman Lulzim Basha’s decision to expel him from the Democrat parliamentary group.

Despite saying that was not “his business to comment”, Meta couldn’t resist the temptation to speak about his former ally and collaborator.

“I would not like to deal with such matters because it’s not my business. But, regarding Mr. Berisha, I cannot help saying he is like a fine wine, the more time passes by, the more attractive and democratic he becomes”, Meta said.
