Former Albanian Premier Sali Berisha said in Elbasan today he is open to any public and state function within the constitutional framework.

Berisha is conducting a tour of meetings with Democratic Party members and supporters across the country following his expulsion from the Democrat parliamentary group per a decision of Chairman Lulzim Basha. The party base did not accept Basha’s decision and have called for an extraordinary assembly, which Basha has rejected.

Berisha also promised to restore the energy price at the level before 2013, when he was Prime Minister.

"We found the country with Diesel generators, we promised and removed them in 2007. We kept an energy price and will restore that price. We established public order, 1100 members of criminal groups and their bosses were arrested and sentenced. We multiplied the foreign investments, we had Statkraft, the world’s largest hydropower company, come here. With an eventual return, I guarantee you we can make three times more than we did then”, Berisha promised.
