TIRANA, June 11/ATA/-The Albanian citizens cannot be prevented from the vote because it would postpone Albania’s European perspective, said today President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker.

Juncker reiterated the full support of the European Commission for our country on its way toward joining the EU.
