The election of the justice leaders with qualified or simple majority, is in both cases within the standards.

This is the evaluation given by the Venice Commission in the press conference held after the meetings in Tirana.

“The must controversial issue was the majority that can be used for electing the leaders of various institutions. Experts suggested to use 3/5th of the Parliament, the opposition 2/3rd. Both options are within the European standards, so there is no reason for an intervention from the Venice Commission”, declared the Head of the Delegation, Tomas Markert.

But the majority issue is not the only thing as regards Constitutional amendments, according to Merkert: “We must make sure that the candidates fulfill the standards. There are several options for resolving this situation and I think that the political parties in Albania should agree”, Merkert underlined.
