36. And this is why Albania will not be admitted to the EU for a long time

Shehu is wanted in Albania for laundering drug money, but "Albania's government has strongly backed the plans ... Prime Minister Edi Rama told Reuters last month that it was a "beautiful" project and would go ahead regardless.
"Asked about the allegations in the case files against Shehu, a government spokesperson said the government would not intervene in private transactions, but that the project was proceeding in compliance with Albanian and EU laws."
So they're happy for a wanted man to be profiting, because he's selling to the Trump family. The current Albanian government is as corrupt as that family. So obviously not fit to run a country.
