President greets political dialogue

In a declaration posted on the official web page, the Head of the Albanian State underlines that political dialogue for institutional reforms, although delayed, is a major challenge and obligation for the Albanian politics, in the efforts of our country for achieving the international standards of EU membership.

Topi encourages the Albanian political forces to make an all inclusive dialogue process. The President declared that a clear political dialogue is needed for uniting the energies of the political forces, in order to realize and vote in time the reforms promised by them but that are also mentioned in the EU progress report on Albania.

The Albanian politics finally found the common language for ending the crisis that has been withholding the reforms for more than two years. The majority and the opposition reached a political agreement, which foresees the creation of the Commission for Electoral Reform and the Working Group for reviewing the draft-laws that require 35th of the Parliament votes.

The importance of this agreement, the first between two big political parties after the elections of 2009, cannot be faded away even by the lack of the political loudness that usually accompanies these processes.

First of all is the establishment of the Commission for the Electoral Reform, much requested by the international partners and a condition for the candidate status. Gramoz Ruci and Astrit Patozi addressed to the Parliament Speaker with a common request for this step, setting the leading of the commission by two chairmen. Secondly, the Democrats and Socialists agreed to establish a Working Group for reviewing the Parliamentary Regulation, one of the Socialists’ conditions to cooperate.

The Albanian President, Bamir Topi, expressed his optimism a few days ago for reestablishing dialogue between the main political forces. According to him, this optimism was based on the messages he took, especially from the international factor.
