Biography

Sali Berisha (Albanian: [saˈli bɛˈɾiʃa] ; born 15 October 1944) is an Albanian politician and retired cardiologist who served as the President of Albania from 1992 to 1997 and as the 32nd prime minister of Albania from 2005 to 2013. Berisha has served as chairman of the Democratic Party of Albania since 2022. He has previously held the position of chairman from 1990 to 1992 and 1997 to 2013. He is the leader of the opposition in Albania.

Under the Biden Administration, he was barred from entering the United States under Section 7031(c)(1)(A) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 due to accusations of 'involvement in significant corruption' and ties to organized crime groups and criminals deemed a 'risk to public safety in Albania. Berisha is also sanctioned by the United Kingdom.
