The President of Albania, Ilir Meta, has proposed early central and presidential elections to resolve the political crisis in Albania, on October 13th, when he decreed the new date for the local elections.
Meta said that he would run for president, while Edi Rama, and the Socialist MPs who don’t want him, will be free to appoint their own candidate. For Meta, this is how this crisis can be resolved.
The President underlined that he hasn’t asked the Prime Minister to resign from his post, but he tried to resolve the crisis because the EU accession negotiations will never open without the opposition participating in the elections.
He underlined that the proposition for early elections is his own choice. If Rama has another proposition, Meta says he is welcome to make it public.
“I am not interested in the winner, whether it is Basha or Rama. I just don’t want Albania to lose, because of some games made by politicians and embassies”, Meta said.
