Former Foreign Minister, Besnik Mustafaj, warned that a possible damage of May 8th local elections would also hamper the already damaged road to EU Integration.

“The international community requests the elections to be transparent and according to the standards, otherwise, the already slowed down EU integration process will be hampered”, Mustafaj declared.

Speaking on Top Channel’s “Shqip”, formed Democratic Party deputy underlined that everything remains in the hands of the Albanian political class, for which he feels skeptic.

“Political parties should show their commitment on European Integration. But I seriously doubt if the Albanian leadership is thirsty for integration”, Mustafaj said.

The former chief of Albanian diplomacy criticized the language used by the Parliament Speaker Jozefina Topalli against MEP Victor Bostinaru at the European Parliament.
