The European Union Ambassador to Albania, Silvio Gonzato, said that Albania should adopt a new electoral reform that includes OSCE recommendations, past and present.
In a statement from Korça, where he was attending an event, Gonzato said that this reform should be carried out as part of the journey towards membership in the European Union.
"The final OSCE report has not yet been released, I think Brussels spoke clearly regarding the May 11 elections in Albania. It is time for the Albanian government and parliament to adopt a comprehensive electoral reform that includes past and present recommendations. And in fact, the result gives the government a greater responsibility to undertake this reform because it has the numbers. It is the expectation of Albanians if Albania is on the path to the EU," Gonzato said.
"In relation to the fulfillment of standards, there is an OSCE report which gives the conclusion, it has recognized the standards but also cites the use of public sources, but the administration of the elections has been commended. I want to congratulate the Central Election Commission for the manner of administering the elections and the cooperation with the General Prosecutor's Office and SPAK. Any party that feels robbed should report to the judicial bodies. However, I wish that both parties work towards the direction of the EU", he added.
