TIRANA, September 3 /ATA/- Following the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission beginning work on investigating the president’s activity focusing on decree annulling the June 30 local elections, President Ilir Meta reacted by saying that, “Anti-President propaganda does not help the rule of law that is a prerequisite for Albania opening of EU accession negotiations on October 18”.
According to Meta, “This is to distract the attention from the obligation to abide by October 13 decree on comprehensive elections and this does not help resolve the crisis, but helps escalate it.”
“The Copenhagen criteria have not yet been abolished by the EU, so respecting them is inevitable if there is any political will left to open negotiations on 18 October. Elections are the only solution,” said he./m.m/p.s./
