Berisha: “Finally, I condemn with the greatest severity the defense that Edi Rama gave to little Putin in Davos. The European Parliament, Western public opinion is revolted by the attitudes of Edi Rama’s boss towards Russian sanctions. Of course, two questions accompanied Rama’s boss in every panel and hall in Davos: Is Putin a war criminal and why does Serbia not respect the sanctions imposed by the EU? Vucic proved that he is a little Putin.

One of Blinken's curious first actions on taking office being sworn in last year was to sanction the former president and prime minister of Albania, Sali Berisha, the anti-communist ally of Presidents H.W. and W. Bush, and who has been in opposition for eight years, and who is a vocal opponent of Soros and his Open Society Foundations, which has been pushing judicial and electoral "reform" in Albania.
In an official statement and accompanying tweet last April, Blinken alleged that Berisha is "corrupt" and had "undermined democracy in Albania," and barred him, his wife and two children from entering the US.
Berisha strenuously denies the allegations, is outraged that Blinken never provided any proof, claims the US government is trying to prop up the socialist Albanian government of Soros ally Prime Minister Edi Rama

A central plot point involves the protagonists’ travels to Albania and subsequent run-ins with the “Albanian mafia,” a key figure of which, the book claims, is petitioner Shkelzen Berisha.
The book performed well, and Lawson eventually sold the movie rights to Warner Bros., which made the feature film War Dogs.
Unhappy with his portrayal, Berisha sued Lawson for defamation under Florida law.
