TIRANA, March 19/ATA/- Head of the OSCE Presence in Albania, Ambassador Bernd Borchardt said today that all the international community has criticized the decision of the opposition to relinquish the mandates in the Parliament because it blows the cools of all the system of Parliamentary democracy.
Speaking to reporters, Borchardt said that Albania used to be a symbol of stability in the region, but we actually see an unprecedented action in the Parliament. This sets a bad example to all the region. The opposition boycotts the Parliament in many countries, but such a thing does not function because this is not at all the essence of Parliamentary democracy, said he.
“When shall we have that Parliament which has a 4-year mandate that lasts 4 years?” asked Borchardt.
Speaking about the upcoming local elections of June 30, Borchardt said that the OSCE has called on all the parties to take part in the local elections./gj.mima/j.p/p.s./
