“It was not enough” — this phrase was the only justification the opposition had last night when it again gathered the opposition leaders at the party headquarters. The PD and its allies met after the failure of the prime minister’s representative, Ilir Meta, to discuss separately with the leader of the PDK, Nard Ndoka. Thus another political round was held, making it clear that because of this move the PD fears dialogue with the other opposition parties as a single voice before the international community. The elected leader of the PDK, Nard Ndoka, declared that the PD is aware that the current government has normalized relations with the West and that it is up to the opposition to be more responsible. Meanwhile, PD representatives said that the party had closed this chapter with that meeting and that all further decisions would be made at the meeting with the 17 parties, which the Americans proposed. Today the roundtable will take place even without the PD, and this party has also received the 5 conditions on which the conditions for a solution to the crisis depend. The Democratic Party must find a way to choose the CEC in this heated climate ahead of the upcoming elections. Today’s roundtable will begin without Sali Berisha’s representatives, and there is a possibility that he may be far from stepping away in order to discuss, after these developments, against the negotiating table. “The PD and its allies are sticking to last night’s decision and refuse to sit with the other opposition parties. We have requested a meeting only with the PDK, which follows the same line as us against the agreement with the SP,” said the party’s spokesman. Without wavering, as hope had been noted at the last meeting, which was in favor of this move again with delegates,” he noted, “we are at the end, which is in favor of this move.” Ceka begins accusations of vote manipulation at the PAD Congress
