TIRANA, August 27 /ATA/ Chairman of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha said that the National Council of the Democratic Party will meet today to decide on the stance and steps that the Democratic Party will take regarding the territorial reform.
Berisha said that the Democratic Party will respond to what he called the “unilateral boycott” of the reform by the socialist majority, while emphasizing that the opposition representatives have continued to participate in the public hearings and protests held within the framework of the process.
According to him, the representatives of the Democratic Party have held consultations with the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, as well as have held meetings with representatives of some embassies in Tirana.
We shall decide our next step today. We do not withdraw from the categorical rejection of Edi Rama’s reform. And we are using every space we can find to oppose it,” Berisha said.
Berisha reminded that they participated in the territorial reform because it was one of the two basic demands of the European Commission in its October report on Albania. /m.q/ /a.g/p.s./
