Albanian President: Process not over yet

The discussion focused on Albania’s post-election situation, especially after CEC announced result for Tirana mayoral race.

While the final decision is expected to come from the Electoral College, the President and the Ambassadors emphasized the necessity of closing the process in full accordance with the laws. This situation, according to them, needs calm and patience.

Taking in consideration the joint declaration of Baroness Ashton and Commissioner Fule, the President underlined that:

“The election process is not over yet, therefore the political parties must restrain themselves from announcing the result beforehand. The Electoral College enjoys full support from the Albanian President for an independent and transparent process, with high moral and professional integrity, honest and free from political interferences. This is the time to let the rule of law function with full capacity, and only true values and high standards must prevail. Only the voice of competent, constitutional and democratic institutions must be heard, because this would serve to Albania’s major interests for a long-term stability. This would fulfill the much awaited integration aspirations that the Albanian people deserves”, said the Spokesperson for the Presidence, Mimoza Koçiu.

Thursday on May 26th, the Electoral College will judge the first complaint of Socialist Party regarding CEC decision that changed the election result for Mayor of Tirana.
