Excerpt from the interview:
Evi Kokalari: Speeches are normal, paid. I know how much they get paid in the US.
Chim Peka: How much are they paid? 50 thousand euros.
Evi Kokalari: No, more.
Evi Kokalari: I was always one step ahead of them. It was no coincidence why I stayed so long in Albania this time. I knew it 6 weeks ago. Paying for speeches and consulting is the most normal thing. I know the awards Secretary Pompeo receives in America.
Chim Peka: More than $150 has been paid.
Evi Kokalari: Yes. Contact with the embassy is normal. They are in constant contact with the embassy. I knew that Pompeo was a target of these Iranians and it was one of the biggest concerns, because imagine if something happens to him in Albania. At the moment, I have discussed the possibility of a second speech, to maximize productivity, and I was discussing with them what the possibilities would be, with Pompeo's senior staff, and I knew that they wanted to do something. other. Taulanti has entered the game.
Arjan Curi: How did Taulanti come into play?
Evi Kokalari: They (Pompeo's staff) have told the embassy about the possibility of a second event. I told him if you want to avoid any possible problem in Albania, avoid the opposition completely, don't meet any. The mistake I made is that I didn't consider that they might be at a conference. There is a fee. Even the pictures there are paid. I tell you again that this is the most normal thing in America. For the second event, the price was higher, triple the price that Pompeo receives in New York.
Arjan Curi: Who paid it?
Evi Kokalari: It was paid by a person related to Taulant Balla. They have gathered and invited those who loved them.
