The State Department has dropped sanctions against one of the loudest opponents of George Soros in Eastern Europe.
Sali Berisha, leader of the Albanian opposition party, confirmed to the Daily Signal Friday that the State Department lifted sanctions against him on Thursday. The State Department had sanctioned Berisha, a former president and prime minister who steered the Balkan country after the fall of communism in the 1990s, for "corrupt acts," such as misappropriation of public funds to enrich relatives. Berisha denied the claims.
"As of yesterday, following an in-depth review of my case by the Department of State, my family members and I are no longer barred from traveling to the United States of America," Berisha, head of Albania's Democratic Party, told the Daily Signal. "Thus, an unjust decision made by the previous U.S. administration against me and my family was rectified."
