The Spin

Narrative A

Albanian authorities have, at least, complied with their obligation to allow Beleri to attend to his responsibilities in the European Parliament. However, the state of the rule of law in that country remains a matter of concern as Beleri has long been deprived of his presumption of innocence.

Hellenic News of America

Narrative B

Beleri has been a threat to Albania. He joined the Greek army three decades ago to attack an Albanian border post and kill two soldiers, and last year reappeared calling to Hellenize Himara in a Greece-funded campaign based on buying votes. However, allowing him to leave Albania is no sign of weakness but rather a civilized move.
