The British Embassy made a statement on the political situation and the elections in Albania. Through a short press declaration the embassy stresses that it would be regrettable if the parties abstain the elections.
“The UK calls on all political parties to engage constructively to ensure that the forthcoming elections are fully participatory. It would be regrettable if parties chose not to participate. The Albanian electorate deserve the right to an election which provides them with the widest possible choice. We call upon all members of all political parties to ensure that the run up to these elections, and the elections themselves, are free from violence.”
