The representatives of the German Delegation on a visit to Albania commented on the political situation in our country and underlined that the Constitution is what determines when the elections will be held.

The delegation of the German Parliament was composed of Josip Juratovic, MP and Chairman of the SPD Parliamentary Group; Renata Alt, MP and Vice Chair of the FDP Parliamentary Group; and Hansjörg Müller, MP and member of the Parliamentary Group, said for the media that they had contact with representatives of the Albanian Parliament, chairmen of the Parliamentary Commissions, PM Rama, the Internal and Justice Minister, in order to have a better image of the reform situation: “It has been important for us to learn about the progress of the reforms and understand how much has been Albania prepared for the negotiations. Albania and the entire Balkan region is in the courtyard of the EU and must be part of this union. For me, democracy is a community of values. These are internal matters, but I have understood that there is a Constitution, and the Constitution is the basis of a country.

The Constitution in Germany is the base, and for this reason, I trust what the Constitution has determined. If the Constitution foresees that the elections must be held in a specific time, then they should be held in that time. Only this way, through the Constitution, I think that a representative democracy through the Parliament is the highest democratic institution. The elections represent the competition between political parties. Every party has its right to become part of it or not. It will be the voters who decide. Not all the citizen in the EU are enthusiastic about the enlargement of the Union, but whoever blocks the integration process, is blocking those who believe in the Democratic values”, said Josip Juratovic.
