TIRANA, May 15 /ATA/ The chairman of the DP parliamentary group, also the deputy chairman of the Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi, and Deputy Parliament Speaker, also deputy chairman the Democratic Party, Agron Gjekmarkaj, are on an official visit to Germany.
They have held a meeting in the Bundestag with the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Michael Roth.
Bardhi emphasizes in a post on social media that, “the authoritarianism of Edi Rama’s government, the violation of the minimum standards for free and fair elections, as well as the failure to deliver on the recommendations of the OSCE-ODIHR through the Electoral Reform, render the situation in Albania similar to that in Serbia or Georgia.”
Therefore, Bardhi said in the meeting, ” Albania should guarantee the check and balance, immediately conclude the Electoral Reform and make sure that the next elections are held up to the standards.
Earlier, Bardhi and Gjekmarkaj met with the president and vice president of the Albania-Germany Friendship Group in the Bundestag, Josip Juratovic and Tomas Haker.
Bardhi added that he expressed his deep gratitude for the role that the Bundestag has played over the years in the progress of democracy in Albania and reiterated the need for more attention, as well as for the further strengthening of the partnership between our two countries.
“Germany has been and remains a key partner in Albania’s European path”, underlined Bardhi.
