Berisha meets ODIHR chief

One week after the arrival of the ODIHR mission that will observe and report the standard of the June 23rd elections, the head of the ODIHR mission, Cony McCormak, met with the Albanian Prime Minister, Sali Berisha.

Four years ago Berisha refused to meet the ODIHR leader of that time, Odrey Glover.

But, same as four years ago, Berisha guaranteed her for a full support of the Albanian government in doing her duties.

The official announcements says that the Prime Minister, by expressing his conviction that the majority must secure the opposition’s trust in this process, underlined that the electoral reform was based on the opposition’s propositions, by fulfilling this way the ODIHR recommendations.

As regards the Central Election Commission problem, Berisha declared that the Socialist Party is trying to block the electoral process by misusing its members at Central Election Commission, through a politically orchestrated resignation.

However, the Prime Minister expressed his readiness to complete the Central Election Commission with the names coming from the opposition.

Mrs.McCormak thanked the Prime Minister for the panorama and explanations on the electoral process, and shared the same opinion with Berisha about the great significance of transparency in the credibility of the electoral process.
