Enkelejd Alibeaj, the head of the Democratic Party’s Parliamentary Group, announced the opposition’s priorities for this year at the commencement of the new parliamentary session.
“Within a few months, Albania will face another electoral confrontation, in the municipal elections of 2023, which makes the completion of the two reforms previously suggested by the Parliamentary Group a priority above the priorities as soon as possible, Political Reform, Electoral Reform, and Administrative-Territorial Reform Both of these improvements are critical for protecting citizens’ interests.”
