The EU Ambassador to Albania, Romana Vlahutin, said banning prisoners
from voting is a bad interpretation of the decriminalization law.
In an interview for Top Story, which will be tonight on Top Channel, Mrs.Vlahutin said tha the right of vote is the basis of democracy.
“It is the first time that I hear such an idea and I am certain that this is a wrong interpretation f the decriminalization law. What we understood by it is that those who have committed crimes cannot run for public administration posts, and we cannot vote for them, but prisoners have the right to vote and this is not negotiable”, Vlahutin said.
