"After I analyzed the 2013 budget for the embassy, I can tell you with certainty from the outset that this budget is fictitious and unrealizable. In other words, it is the responsibility of you hesitating to Ambassador. It 'washing hands like Pontius Pilate', in a way, saying, "these funds have, be slain himself now where you are, '" writes the Albanian ambassador to the US.
"You remember that the Embassy in Washington DC, one of the most important embassies Albanian state is left without a driver, without secretaries and technicians lampehuset without cleaning. I believe it will remain a unique case that an embassy in Washington has no driver, "the letter read.
"In order to comprehend, politically and diplomatically unjustifiable," is placing the cart before the horse '. Unfortunately nothing is forgotten why we in the US embassy. lampehuset To pay bills mandatory (even for these, arithmetic operations do not go) or to work represented US interests in Albania? Practically, embassies are back in order to solve the "troubles" or your Department of Finance, when to be completely the opposite, "added Ambassador Galanxhi.

Tell me, this 'guidance' remains valid even for 2013 ??? "asked the ambassador.
"Please authorize in writing, Mr. Secretary General, not to leave the office, or rather, lampehuset can not get out of the residence, as in real life, minus a thousand dollars, I can not do anything ".
But, as Albania's official diplomacy suffers a crisis of survival, another lampehuset diplomacy, she Real estate is booming with budget money. The Albanian government pays people money for lobbying both companies in the United States.
