It seems that the highest evaluation from the European Parliament (EP) will be given to the citizens for their participation in the voting process.

Through his spokesperson, the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule, gave his preliminary evaluation for the local elections. The EP recommends the acceptance of these elections’ problems in order to make the necessary changes.

“The European Union attentively followed Sunday’s elections in Albania, and OSCE’s preliminary report. According to this report and the latest developments, the process was accompanied by tensions and polarization between the participating political parties. But a full judgment can be given only after making a final analysis until its end.

This means that we will take into consideration the counting process, their report and the solution of complaints about the electoral process.

The European Union evaluates that the Albanian voters voted in a massive way, and the authorities responsible for this process had taken all the necessary measures for everything to go as it should.

So, we especially evaluate the commitment of all citizens in the normal proceeding of this democratic process,” said Natasha Buttler, spokesperson of the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule.

She made this declaration after OSCE/ODHIR presented its preliminary report.
