Emigrants celebrate Constitutional Court decision

Hundreds of emigrants supported the RBA in Greece, which has created its branch in Athens. They made appeals against the population registration on ethnic bases.

The court decided with 6 votes in favor and 2 against for rejecting the disposition of this law that was approved in 2009 and that determines the procedures for changing the nationality in the Civil Registrar law. Considering this law as unconstitutional, the Court ruled that it is inconsistent with the term “nationality”.

The appeal at the Constitutional Court was filed by the Courts of Saranda, Shkoder and Permet, which asked the Constitutional Court to declare it as inconsistent. The District Courts declared that the law damaged the Constitutional Principles by obliging the citizens to change their ethnicity.

Based on this law, the courts of the southern Albanian cities have changed thousands of nationalities, from Albanian to Greek. This wave of changes caused the citizens to complain, and the Red and Black Alliance too. During a tour of meetings with the district courts, this law was also opposed by the Vice Chairman of the High Council of Justice, Kreshnik Spahiu.
