The law is expected to enter in effect in the beginning of the next year. For the Socialist Party, this is an important moment for the country and its image.
“This is a good day because we finalized a process that was misused for political reason. No other politician will be able to insult Albania in EU institutions as a cave of criminals anymore”, he said.
The Democrats see the law as a good help for free elections, whenever they take place.
